IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands Add infrastructure to support extended uverbs capabilities in a forward/backward manner. Uverbs command opcodes which are based on the verbs extensions approach should be greater or equal to IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD. They have new header format and processed a bit differently. Whenever a specific IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_XXX is extended, which practically means it needs to have additional arguments, we will be able to add them without creating a completely new IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_YYY command or bumping the uverbs ABI version. This patch for itself doesn't provide the whole scheme which is also dependent on adding a comp_mask field to each extended uverbs command struct. The new header framework allows for future extension of the CMD arguments (ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words, ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.out_words) for an existing new command (that is a command that supports the new uverbs command header format suggested in this patch) w/o bumping ABI version and with maintaining backward and formward compatibility to new and old libibverbs versions. In the uverbs command we are passing both uverbs arguments and the provider arguments. We split the ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words to ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words which will now carry only uverbs input argument struct size and ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.provider_in_words that will carry the provider input argument size. Same goes for the response (the uverbs CMD output argument). For example take the create_cq call and the mlx4_ib provider: The uverbs layer gets libibverb's struct ibv_create_cq (named struct ib_uverbs_create_cq in the kernel), mlx4_ib gets libmlx4's struct mlx4_create_cq (which includes struct ibv_create_cq and is named struct mlx4_ib_create_cq in the kernel) and in_words = sizeof(mlx4_create_cq)/4 . Thus ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words carry both uverbs plus mlx4_ib input argument sizes, where uverbs assumes it knows the size of its input argument - struct ibv_create_cq. Now, if we wish to add a variable to struct ibv_create_cq, we can add a comp_mask field to the struct which is basically bit field indicating which fields exists in the struct (as done for the libibverbs API extension), but we need a way to tell what is the total size of the struct and not assume the struct size is predefined (since we may get different struct sizes from different user libibverbs versions). So we know at which point the provider input argument (struct mlx4_create_cq) begins. Same goes for extending the provider struct mlx4_create_cq. Thus we split the ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words to ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words which will now carry only uverbs input argument struct size and ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.provider_in_words that will carry the provider (mlx4_ib) input argument size.

IB/core: extended command: an improved infrastructure for uverbs commands Commit 400dbc96583f ("IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands") added an infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands while later commit 436f2ad05a0b ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow through uverbs") exported ib_create_flow()/ib_destroy_flow() functions using this new infrastructure. According to the commit 400dbc96583f, the purpose of this infrastructure is to support passing around provider (eg. hardware) specific buffers when userspace issue commands to the kernel, so that it would be possible to extend uverbs (eg. core) buffers independently from the provider buffers. But the new kernel command function prototypes were not modified to take advantage of this extension. This issue was exposed by Roland Dreier in a previous review[1]. So the following patch is an attempt to a revised extensible command infrastructure. This improved extensible command infrastructure distinguish between core (eg. legacy)'s command/response buffers from provider (eg. hardware)'s command/response buffers: each extended command implementing function is given a struct ib_udata to hold core (eg. uverbs) input and output buffers, and another struct ib_udata to hold the hw (eg. provider) input and output buffers. Having those buffers identified separately make it easier to increase one buffer to support extension without having to add some code to guess the exact size of each command/response parts: This should make the extended functions more reliable. Additionally, instead of relying on command identifier being greater than IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD, the proposed infrastructure rely on unused bits in command field: on the 32 bits provided by command field, only 6 bits are really needed to encode the identifier of commands currently supported by the kernel. (Even using only 6 bits leaves room for about 23 new commands). So this patch makes use of some high order bits in command field to store flags, leaving enough room for more command identifiers than one will ever need (eg. 256). The new flags are used to specify if the command should be processed as an extended one or a legacy one. While designing the new command format, care was taken to make usage of flags itself extensible. Using high order bits of the commands field ensure that newer libibverbs on older kernel will properly fail when trying to call extended commands. On the other hand, older libibverbs on newer kernel will never be able to issue calls to extended commands. The extended command header includes the optional response pointer so that output buffer length and output buffer pointer are located together in the command, allowing proper parameters checking. This should make implementing functions easier and safer. Additionally the extended header ensure 64bits alignment, while making all sizes multiple of 8 bytes, extending the maximum buffer size: legacy extended Maximum command buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes) Maximum response buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes) For the purpose of doing proper buffer size accounting, the headers size are no more taken in account in "in_words". One of the odds of the current extensible infrastructure, reading twice the "legacy" command header, is fixed by removing the "legacy" command header from the extended command header: they are processed as two different parts of the command: memory is read once and information are not duplicated: it's making clear that's an extended command scheme and not a different command scheme. The proposed scheme will format input (command) and output (response) buffers this way: - command: legacy header + extended header + command data (core + hw): +----------------------------------------+ | flags | 00 00 | command | | in_words | out_words | +----------------------------------------+ | response | | response | | provider_in_words | provider_out_words | | padding | +----------------------------------------+ | | . <uverbs input> . . (in_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ | | . <provider input> . . (provider_in_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ - response, if present: +----------------------------------------+ | | . <uverbs output space> . . (out_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ | | . <provider output space> . . (provider_out_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ The overall design is to ensure that the extensible infrastructure is itself extensible while begin more reliable with more input and bound checking. Note: The unused field in the extended header would be perfect candidate to hold the command "comp_mask" (eg. bit field used to handle compatibility). This was suggested by Roland Dreier in a previous review[2]. But "comp_mask" field is likely to be present in the uverb input and/or provider input, likewise for the response, as noted by Matan Barak[3], so it doesn't make sense to put "comp_mask" in the header.

IB/core: Add support for extended query device caps Add extensible query device capabilities verb to allow adding new features. ib_uverbs_ex_query_device is added and copy_query_dev_fields is used to copy capability fields to be used by both ib_uverbs_query_device and ib_uverbs_ex_query_device. Following the discussion about this patch [1], the code now validates the command's comp_mask is zero, returning -EINVAL for unknown values, in order to allow extending the verb in the future. The verb also checks the user-space provided response buffer size and only fills in capabilities that will fit in the buffer. In attempt to follow the spirit of presentation [2] by Tzahi Oved that was presented during OpenFabrics Alliance International Developer Workshop 2013, the comp_mask bits will only describe which fields are valid. Furthermore, fields that can simply be cleared when they are not supported, do not require a comp_mask bit at all. The verb returns a response_length field containing the actual number of bytes written by the kernel, so that a newer version running on an older kernel can tell which fields were actually returned.

IB/core: extended command: an improved infrastructure for uverbs commands Commit 400dbc96583f ("IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands") added an infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands while later commit 436f2ad05a0b ("IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow through uverbs") exported ib_create_flow()/ib_destroy_flow() functions using this new infrastructure. According to the commit 400dbc96583f, the purpose of this infrastructure is to support passing around provider (eg. hardware) specific buffers when userspace issue commands to the kernel, so that it would be possible to extend uverbs (eg. core) buffers independently from the provider buffers. But the new kernel command function prototypes were not modified to take advantage of this extension. This issue was exposed by Roland Dreier in a previous review[1]. So the following patch is an attempt to a revised extensible command infrastructure. This improved extensible command infrastructure distinguish between core (eg. legacy)'s command/response buffers from provider (eg. hardware)'s command/response buffers: each extended command implementing function is given a struct ib_udata to hold core (eg. uverbs) input and output buffers, and another struct ib_udata to hold the hw (eg. provider) input and output buffers. Having those buffers identified separately make it easier to increase one buffer to support extension without having to add some code to guess the exact size of each command/response parts: This should make the extended functions more reliable. Additionally, instead of relying on command identifier being greater than IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD, the proposed infrastructure rely on unused bits in command field: on the 32 bits provided by command field, only 6 bits are really needed to encode the identifier of commands currently supported by the kernel. (Even using only 6 bits leaves room for about 23 new commands). So this patch makes use of some high order bits in command field to store flags, leaving enough room for more command identifiers than one will ever need (eg. 256). The new flags are used to specify if the command should be processed as an extended one or a legacy one. While designing the new command format, care was taken to make usage of flags itself extensible. Using high order bits of the commands field ensure that newer libibverbs on older kernel will properly fail when trying to call extended commands. On the other hand, older libibverbs on newer kernel will never be able to issue calls to extended commands. The extended command header includes the optional response pointer so that output buffer length and output buffer pointer are located together in the command, allowing proper parameters checking. This should make implementing functions easier and safer. Additionally the extended header ensure 64bits alignment, while making all sizes multiple of 8 bytes, extending the maximum buffer size: legacy extended Maximum command buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes) Maximum response buffer: 256KBytes 1024KBytes (512KBytes + 512KBytes) For the purpose of doing proper buffer size accounting, the headers size are no more taken in account in "in_words". One of the odds of the current extensible infrastructure, reading twice the "legacy" command header, is fixed by removing the "legacy" command header from the extended command header: they are processed as two different parts of the command: memory is read once and information are not duplicated: it's making clear that's an extended command scheme and not a different command scheme. The proposed scheme will format input (command) and output (response) buffers this way: - command: legacy header + extended header + command data (core + hw): +----------------------------------------+ | flags | 00 00 | command | | in_words | out_words | +----------------------------------------+ | response | | response | | provider_in_words | provider_out_words | | padding | +----------------------------------------+ | | . <uverbs input> . . (in_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ | | . <provider input> . . (provider_in_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ - response, if present: +----------------------------------------+ | | . <uverbs output space> . . (out_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ | | . <provider output space> . . (provider_out_words * 8) . | | +----------------------------------------+ The overall design is to ensure that the extensible infrastructure is itself extensible while begin more reliable with more input and bound checking. Note: The unused field in the extended header would be perfect candidate to hold the command "comp_mask" (eg. bit field used to handle compatibility). This was suggested by Roland Dreier in a previous review[2]. But "comp_mask" field is likely to be present in the uverb input and/or provider input, likewise for the response, as noted by Matan Barak[3], so it doesn't make sense to put "comp_mask" in the header.

IB/core: Infrastructure for extensible uverbs commands Add infrastructure to support extended uverbs capabilities in a forward/backward manner. Uverbs command opcodes which are based on the verbs extensions approach should be greater or equal to IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_THRESHOLD. They have new header format and processed a bit differently. Whenever a specific IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_XXX is extended, which practically means it needs to have additional arguments, we will be able to add them without creating a completely new IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_YYY command or bumping the uverbs ABI version. This patch for itself doesn't provide the whole scheme which is also dependent on adding a comp_mask field to each extended uverbs command struct. The new header framework allows for future extension of the CMD arguments (ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words, ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.out_words) for an existing new command (that is a command that supports the new uverbs command header format suggested in this patch) w/o bumping ABI version and with maintaining backward and formward compatibility to new and old libibverbs versions. In the uverbs command we are passing both uverbs arguments and the provider arguments. We split the ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words to ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words which will now carry only uverbs input argument struct size and ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.provider_in_words that will carry the provider input argument size. Same goes for the response (the uverbs CMD output argument). For example take the create_cq call and the mlx4_ib provider: The uverbs layer gets libibverb's struct ibv_create_cq (named struct ib_uverbs_create_cq in the kernel), mlx4_ib gets libmlx4's struct mlx4_create_cq (which includes struct ibv_create_cq and is named struct mlx4_ib_create_cq in the kernel) and in_words = sizeof(mlx4_create_cq)/4 . Thus ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words carry both uverbs plus mlx4_ib input argument sizes, where uverbs assumes it knows the size of its input argument - struct ibv_create_cq. Now, if we wish to add a variable to struct ibv_create_cq, we can add a comp_mask field to the struct which is basically bit field indicating which fields exists in the struct (as done for the libibverbs API extension), but we need a way to tell what is the total size of the struct and not assume the struct size is predefined (since we may get different struct sizes from different user libibverbs versions). So we know at which point the provider input argument (struct mlx4_create_cq) begins. Same goes for extending the provider struct mlx4_create_cq. Thus we split the ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words to ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.in_words which will now carry only uverbs input argument struct size and ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr.provider_in_words that will carry the provider (mlx4_ib) input argument size.

Following the discussion about this patch [1], the code now validates the command's comp_mask is zero, returning -EINVAL for unknown values, in order to allow extending the verb in the future. The verb also checks the user-space provided response buffer size and only fills in capabilities that will fit in the buffer. In attempt to follow the spirit of presentation [2] by Tzahi Oved that was presented during OpenFabrics Alliance International Developer Workshop 2013, the comp_mask bits will only describe which fields are valid. Furthermore, fields that can simply be cleared when they are not supported, do not require a comp_mask bit at all. The verb returns a response_length field containing the actual number of bytes written by the kernel, so that a newer version running on an older kernel can tell which fields were actually returned.

RDMA/core: Add memory management extensions support This patch adds support for the IB "base memory management extension" (BMME) and the equivalent iWARP operations (which the iWARP verbs mandates all devices must implement). The new operations are: - Allocate an ib_mr for use in fast register work requests. - Allocate/free a physical buffer lists for use in fast register work requests. This allows device drivers to allocate this memory as needed for use in posting send requests (eg via dma_alloc_coherent). - New send queue work requests: * send with remote invalidate * fast register memory region * local invalidate memory region * RDMA read with invalidate local memory region (iWARP only) Consumer interface details: - A new device capability flag IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS is added to indicate device support for these features. - New send work request opcodes IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR, IB_WR_LOCAL_INV, IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV are added. - A new consumer API function, ib_alloc_mr() is added to allocate fast register memory regions. - New consumer API functions, ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list() and ib_free_fast_reg_page_list() are added to allocate and free device-specific memory for fast registration page lists. - A new consumer API function, ib_update_fast_reg_key(), is added to allow the key portion of the R_Key and L_Key of a fast registration MR to be updated. Consumers call this if desired before posting a IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR work request. Consumers can use this as follows: - MR is allocated with ib_alloc_mr(). - Page list memory is allocated with ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list(). - MR R_Key/L_Key "key" field is updated with ib_update_fast_reg_key(). - MR made VALID and bound to a specific page list via ib_post_send(IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR) - MR made INVALID via ib_post_send(IB_WR_LOCAL_INV), ib_post_send(IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV) or an incoming send with invalidate operation. - MR is deallocated with ib_dereg_mr() - page lists dealloced via ib_free_fast_reg_page_list(). Applications can allocate a fast register MR once, and then can repeatedly bind the MR to different physical block lists (PBLs) via posting work requests to a send queue (SQ). For each outstanding MR-to-PBL binding in the SQ pipe, a fast_reg_page_list needs to be allocated (the fast_reg_page_list is owned by the low-level driver from the consumer posting a work request until the request completes). Thus pipelining can be achieved while still allowing device-specific page_list processing. The 32-bit fast register memory key/STag is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit key. The application can change the key each time it fast registers thus allowing more control over the peer's use of the key/STag (ie it can effectively be changed each time the rkey is rebound to a page list).

IB/rxe: Revise the ib_wr_opcode enum This enum has become part of the uABI, as both RXE and the ib_uverbs_post_send() command expect userspace to supply values from this enum. So it should be properly placed in include/uapi/rdma. In userspace this enum is called 'enum ibv_wr_opcode' as part of libibverbs.h. That enum defines different values for IB_WR_LOCAL_INV, IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV, and IB_WR_LSO. These were introduced (incorrectly, it turns out) into libiberbs in 2015. The kernel has changed its mind on the numbering for several of the IB_WC values over the years, but has remained stable on IB_WR_LOCAL_INV and below. Based on this we can conclude that there is no real user space user of the values beyond IB_WR_ATOMIC_FETCH_AND_ADD, as they have never worked via rdma-core. This is confirmed by inspection, only rxe uses the kernel enum and implements the latter operations. rxe has clearly never worked with these attributes from userspace. Other drivers that support these opcodes implement the functionality without calling out to the kernel. To make IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV and related work for RXE in userspace we choose to renumber the IB_WR enum in the kernel to match the uABI that userspace has bee using since before Soft RoCE was merged. This is an overall simpler configuration for the whole software stack, and obviously can't break anything existing.
