Sean Hefty 42849b2697 RDMA/uverbs: Export ib_open_qp() capability to user space
Allow processes that share the same XRC domain to open an existing
shareable QP.  This permits those processes to receive events on the
shared QP and transfer ownership, so that any process may modify the
QP.  The latter allows the creating process to exit, while a remaining
process can still transition it for path migration purposes.

Sean Hefty 0e0ec7e063 RDMA/core: Export ib_open_qp() to share XRC TGT QPs
XRC TGT QPs are shared resources among multiple processes.  Since the
creating process may exit, allow other processes which share the same
XRC domain to open an existing QP.  This allows us to transfer
ownership of an XRC TGT QP to another process.

Sean Hefty b93f3c1872 RDMA/uverbs: Export XRC TGT QPs to user space
Allow user space to operate on XRC TGT QPs the same way as other types
of QPs, with one notable exception: since XRC TGT QPs may be shared
among multiple processes, the XRC TGT QP is allowed to exist beyond the
lifetime of the creating process.

The process that creates the QP is allowed to destroy it, but if the
process exits without destroying the QP, then the QP will be left bound
to the lifetime of the XRCD.

TGT QPs are not associated with CQs or a PD.

Goldwyn Rodrigues b2bc478219 RDMA: Check for NULL mode in .devnode methods
Commits 71c29bd5c2 ("IB/uverbs: Add devnode method to set path/mode")
and c3af0980ce ("IB: Add devnode methods to cm_class and umad_class")
added devnode methods that set the mode.

However, these methods don't check for a NULL mode, and so we get a
crash when unloading modules because devtmpfs_delete_node() calls
device_get_devnode() with mode == NULL.

Add the missing checks.

Roland Dreier bc1db9af73 IB: Explicitly rule out llseek to avoid BKL in default_llseek()
Several RDMA user-access drivers have file_operations structures with
no .llseek method set.  None of the drivers actually do anything with
f_pos, so this means llseek is essentially a NOP, instead of returning
an error as leaving other file_operations methods unimplemented would
do.  This is mostly harmless, except that a NULL .llseek means that
default_llseek() is used, and this function grabs the BKL, which we
would like to avoid.

Since llseek does nothing useful on these files, we would like it to
return an error to userspace instead of silently grabbing the BKL and
succeeding.  For nearly all of the file types, we take the
belt-and-suspenders approach of setting the .llseek method to
no_llseek and also calling nonseekable_open(); the exception is the
uverbs_event files, which are created with anon_inode_getfile(), which
already sets f_mode the same way as nonseekable_open() would.

This work is motivated by Arnd Bergmann's bkl-removal tree.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.

This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes
and plain attributes.

This will allow further cleanups in drivers.

Alexander Chiang 6d6a0e71ee IB/uverbs: Increase maximum devices supported
Some large systems may support more than IB_UVERBS_MAX_DEVICES
(currently 32).

This change allows us to support more devices in a backwards-compatible
manner.  The first IB_UVERBS_MAX_DEVICES keep the same major/minor
device numbers that they've always had.

If there are more than IB_UVERBS_MAX_DEVICES, we then dynamically
request a new major device number (new minors start at 0).

This change increases the maximum number of HCAs to 64 (from 32).

Since the original commit 883a99c7 ("[IB] uverbs: Add a mask of device

commands not implemented by a specific low-level driver.

This creates a problem that there is no way to tell the difference

incorrectly invoked (which also returns EINVAL).

The fix is to have unimplemented commands return ENOSYS.

Roland Dreier f7c6a7b5d5 IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules
Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.

Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.

This has a number of advantages:
 - It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
   library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
   the details of specific devices dictate.
 - Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
   need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get().  For
   example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
   the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
   use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
 - Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
   the low-level driver.  For example, it may be possible to solve
   some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
   userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
 - Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
   other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
   of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method.  For
   example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
   and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
   memory key for these buffers.  So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
   to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

Michael S. Tsirkin f4fd0b224d IB: Add CQ comp_vector support
Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend
ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels
the userspace libibverbs API.  Update all hardware drivers to set
num_comp_vectors to 1 and have all ULPs pass 0 for the comp_vector
value.  Pass the value of num_comp_vectors to userspace rather than
hard-coding a value of 1.

We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for
adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear
how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues
such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt
affinity.  This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core
changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple
vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes
anyway.

Arjan van de Ven 2b8693c061 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Jack Morgenstein fd60ae404f IB/uverbs: Avoid a crash on device hot remove
Wait until all users have closed their device context before allowing
device unregistration to complete.  This prevents a crash caused by
referring to stale data structures.

A better solution would be to have a way to revoke contexts rather
than waiting for userspace to close the context, but that's a much
bigger change that will have to wait.  For now let's at least avoid
the crash.

David Howells 454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

Roland Dreier 9b8efc0242 IB/uverbs: Remove unnecessary list_del()s
In ib_uverbs_cleanup_ucontext(), when iterating through the lists of
objects, there's no reason to do list_del() to remove the objects,
since both the objects and the lists that contain them are about to be
freed anyway.  Since list_del() is a moderately big inline function,
getting rid of this extra work saves quite a bit of .text:
