![]() This patch enhances the IB core support for Memory Windows (MWs). MWs allow an application to have better/flexible control over remote access to memory. Two types of MWs are supported, with the second type having two flavors: Type 1 - associated with PD only Type 2A - associated with QPN only Type 2B - associated with PD and QPN Applications can allocate a MW once, and then repeatedly bind the MW to different ranges in MRs that are associated to the same PD. Type 1 windows are bound through a verb, while type 2 windows are bound by posting a work request. The 32-bit memory key is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit key. The key is changed with each bind, thus allowing more control over the peer's use of the memory key. The changes introduced are the following: * add memory window type enum and a corresponding parameter to ib_alloc_mw. * type 2 memory window bind work request support. * create a struct that contains the common part of the bind verb struct ibv_mw_bind and the bind work request into a single struct. * add the ib_inc_rkey helper function to advance the tag part of an rkey. Consumer interface details: * new device capability flags IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A and IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B are added to indicate device support for these features. Devices can set either IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2A or IB_DEVICE_MEM_WINDOW_TYPE_2B if it supports type 2A or type 2B memory windows. It can set neither to indicate it doesn't support type 2 windows at all. * modify existing provides and consumers code to the new param of ib_alloc_mw and the ib_mw_bind_info structure Signed-off-by: Haggai Eran <haggaie@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Shani Michaeli <shanim@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> |
