Cheng Xu says ==================== This v14 patch set introduces the Elastic RDMA Adapter (ERDMA) driver, which released in Apsara Conference 2021 by Alibaba. The PR of ERDMA userspace provider has already been created [1]. ERDMA enables large-scale RDMA acceleration capability in Alibaba ECS environment, initially offered in g7re instance. It can improve the efficiency of large-scale distributed computing and communication significantly and expand dynamically with the cluster scale of Alibaba Cloud. ERDMA is a RDMA networking adapter based on the Alibaba MOC hardware. It works in the VPC network environment (overlay network), and uses iWarp transport protocol. ERDMA supports reliable connection (RC). ERDMA also supports both kernel space and user space verbs. Now we have already supported HPC/AI applications with libfabric, NoF and some other internal verbs libraries, such as xrdma, epsl, etc,. For the ECS instance with RDMA enabled, our MOC hardware generates two kinds of PCI devices: one for ERDMA, and one for the original net device (virtio-net). They are separated PCI devices. ==================== * branch 'erdma': RDMA/erdma: Add driver to kernel build environment RDMA/erdma: Add the ABI definitions RDMA/erdma: Add the erdma module RDMA/erdma: Add connection management (CM) support RDMA/erdma: Add verbs implementation RDMA/erdma: Add verbs header file RDMA/erdma: Add event queue implementation RDMA/erdma: Add cmdq implementation RDMA/erdma: Add main include file RDMA/erdma: Add the hardware related definitions RDMA: Add ERDMA to rdma_driver_id definition Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
