Remove data-xfer as an interface type, and replace data-xfer
interfaces with generic interfaces supporting the data-xfer methods.
Filter interfaces (as used by the TLS layer) are handled using the
generic pass-through interface capability. A side-effect of this is
that deliver_raw() no longer exists as a data-xfer method. (In
practice this doesn't lose any efficiency, since there are no
instances within the current codebase where xfer_deliver_raw() is used
to pass data to an interface supporting the deliver_raw() method.)

Some subnet managers expect the GetResponse from a SetPortInfo MAD to

Fix by waiting for up to 20us for the link state transition to take

The iBFT is Ethernet-centric in providing only six bytes for a MAC
address. This is most probably an indirect consequence of a similar
design flaw in the Windows NDIS stack. (The WinOF IPoIB stack
performs all sorts of contortions in order to pretend to the NDIS
layer that it is dealing with six-byte MAC addresses.)
There is no sensible way in which to extend the iBFT without breaking
compatibility with programs that expect to parse it. Add the notion
of an "Ethernet-compatible" MAC address to our link layer abstraction,
so that link layers can provide their own workarounds for this
limitation.

Some devices can only be reset via a mechanism that also resets the
card's PCI core, thus necessitating a backup and restore of all or
part of the PCI configuration space across a reset.
IPoIB has a 20-byte link-layer address, of which only eight bytes
represent anything relating to a "hardware address".
The PXE and EFI SNP APIs expect the permanent address to be the same
size as the link-layer address, so fill in the "permanent address"
field with the initial link layer address (as generated by
register_netdev() based upon the real hardware address).
The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
With iSCSI, connection attempts are expensive; it may take many
seconds to determine that a connection will fail. SRP connection
attempts are much less expensive, so we may as well avoid the
"optimisation" of declaring a state of permanent failure after a
certain number of attempts. This allows a gPXE SRP initiator to
resume operations after an arbitrary amount of SRP target downtime.
SRP is the SCSI RDMA Protocol. It allows for a method of SAN booting
whereby the target is responsible for reading and writing data using
Remote DMA directly to the initiator's memory. The software initiator
merely sends and receives SCSI commands; it never has to touch the
actual data.
The ACK timeout determines how long we take to notice a failed
Reliable Connection. Reducing it from the arbitrary value of 19 down
to 14 reduces the individual ACK timeout from around 2.1s to 67ms;
this in turn reduces the time to tear down and re-establish a broken
SRP session from around 30s to around 1s.
The Infiniband Communication Manager will refuse to establish a
connection if it believes the connection is already established.
There is no immediately obvious way to ask it to tear down the
existing connection and replace it; to issue a DREP we would need to
know the local and remote communication IDs used for the previous
connection setup.
We can work around this by randomising the high-order bits of the
queue pair number; these have no significance to the hardware, but are
sufficient to convince the IB CM that this is a different connection.
The prior net80211 model of physical-layer behavior for drivers was
overly simplistic and limited the drivers that could be written. To
be more flexible, split the driver-provided list of supported rates by
band, and add a means for specifying a list of supported channels.
Allow drivers to specify a hardware channel value that will be tied to
uses of the channel.
Expose net80211_duration() to drivers, and make the rate it uses in
its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating
durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add
net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the
duration for a CTS packet.

The IBA specification refers to management "interfaces" and "agents".
The interface is the component that connects to the queue pair and
sends and receives MADs; the agent is the component that constructs
the reply to the MAD.
Rename the IB_{QPN,QKEY,QPT} constants as a first step towards making
this separation in gPXE.
The Linux IB Communication Manager will always send MADs to QP1,
rather than back to the originating QP. On Hermon, QP1 is by default
handled by the embedded firmware. We can change this, but the cost is
that we have to handle both QP0 and QP1 (i.e. we have to provide SMA
as well as GMA service in software), and we have to use MLX queues
rather than standard UD queues (i.e. we have to construct the UD
datagrams by hand).
There doesn't seem to be any viable way around this situation, ugly
though it is.
Queue pairs are now assumed to be created in the INIT state, with a
call to ib_modify_qp() required to bring the queue pair to the RTS
state.
ib_modify_qp() no longer takes a modification list; callers should
modify the relevant queue pair parameters (e.g. qkey) directly and
then call ib_modify_qp() to synchronise the changes to the hardware.
The packet sequence number is now a property of the queue pair, rather
than of the device.
Each queue pair may have an associated address vector. For RC queue
pairs, this is the address vector that will be programmed in to the
hardware as the remote address. For UD queue pairs, it will be used
as the default address vector if none is supplied to ib_post_send().
The queue key is stored as a property of the queue pair, and so can
optionally be added by the Infiniband core at the time of calling
ib_post_send(), rather than always having to be specified by the
caller.
This allows IPoIB to avoid explicitly keeping track of the data queue
key.
Now that path record lookups are handled entirely via
ib_resolve_path(), the only role of the IPoIB peer cache is as a
lookup table for MAC addresses. Update the code structure and
comments to reflect this.
The IPoIB broadcast MAC address varies according to the partition key.
Now that the broadcast MAC address is a property of the network device
rather than of the link layer, we can expose this real MAC address
directly.
The broadcast LID is now identified via a path record lookup; this is
marginally inefficient (since it was present in the MCMemberRecord
GetResponse), but avoids the need to special-case broadcasts when
constructing the address vector in ipoib_transmit().
Currently, all Infiniband users must create a process for polling
their completion queues (or rely on a regular hook such as
netdev_poll() in ipoib.c).
Move instead to a model whereby the Infiniband core maintains a single
process calling ib_poll_eq(), and polling the event queue triggers
polls of the applicable completion queues. (At present, the
Infiniband core simply polls all of the device's completion queues.)
Polling a completion queue will now implicitly refill all attached
receive work queues; this is analogous to the way that netdev_poll()
implicitly refills the RX ring.
Infiniband users no longer need to create a process just to poll their
completion queues and refill their receive rings.
IPoIB and the SMA have separate constants for the packet size to be
used to I/O buffer allocations. Merge these into the single
IB_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE constant.
(Various other points in the Infiniband stack have hard-coded
assumptions of a 2048-byte payload; we don't currently support
variable MTUs.)
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
Move the icky call to step() from aoe.c to ata.c; this takes it at
least one step further away from where it really doesn't belong.
Unfortunately, AoE has the ugly aoe_discover() mechanism which means
that we still have a step() loop in aoe.c for now; this needs to be
replaced at some future point.
In order to construct outgoing link-layer frames or parse incoming
ones properly, some protocols (such as 802.11) need more state than is
available in the existing variables passed to the link-layer protocol
handlers. To remedy this, add struct net_device *netdev as the first
argument to each of these functions, so that more information can be
fetched from the link layer-private part of the network device.
Updated all three call sites (netdevice.c, efi_snp.c, pxe_undi.c) and
both implementations (ethernet.c, ipoib.c) of ll_protocol to use the
new argument.

Represent table names as #defined string constants rather than

Problem reported by Kristof Van Doorsselaere <kvandoor@aserver.com>
and Shiva Shankar <802.11e@gmail.com>.
Driver was storing the result of pci_bar_start() and pci_bar_size() in
an int, rather than an unsigned long.
(Bug was introduced in the vendor's tree in commit eac85cd "Port
etherfabric driver to net_device api".)
adjust_pci_device() has historically enabled bus-mastering and I/O
cycles, but has never previously needed to enable memory cycles. Some
EFI systems seem not to enable memory cycles by default, so add that
to the list of PCI command register bits that we force on.
When compiling for the Linux kernel, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_0 == 0, and
PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_1 == 1. This is not so when compiling for gPXE. We
must use the symbolic names rather than integers to get the correct
values.

The patch file supplied for commit 3a799e9 ("[hermon] Add PCI ID for
ConnectX QDR card") accidentally marked drivers/infiniband/hermon.c as

This driver is based on Stefan Hajnoczi's summer work, which
is in turn based on version 1.01 of the linux b44 driver.
I just assembled the pieces and fixed/added a few pieces
here and there to make it work for my hardware.
The most major limitation is that this driver won't work
on systems with >1GB RAM due to the card not having enough
address bits for that and gPXE not working around this
limitation.
Still, other than that the driver works well enough for
at least 2 users :) and the above limitation can always

This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.
The return path in directed route SMPs lists the egress ports in order
from SM to node, rather than from node to SM.
To write to the correct offset within the return path, we need to
parse the hop pointer. This is held within the class-specific data
portion of the MAD header, which was previously unused by us and
defined to be a uint16_t. Define this field to be a union type; this
requires some rearrangement of ib_mad.h and corresponding changes to
ipoib.c.
These cards very nearly support our current IB Verbs model. There is
one minor difference: multicast packets will always be delivered by
the hardware to QP0, so the driver has to redirect them to the
appropriate QP. This means that QP owners may see receive completions
for buffers that they never posted. Nothing in our current codebase
will break because of this.
This can be used with cards that require the driver to construct and
parse packet headers manually. Headers are optionally handled
out-of-line from the packet payload, since some such cards will split
received headers into a separate ring buffer.
Some Infiniband cards will not be as accommodating as the Arbel and
Hermon cards in providing enough space for us to push a fake extra
header at the start of the received packet. We must therefore make do
with squeezing enough information to identify source and destination
addresses into the two bytes of padding within a genuine IPoIB
link-layer header.
Not all Infiniband cards have embedded subnet management agents.
Split out the code that communicates with such an embedded SMA into a
separate ib_smc.c file, and have drivers call ib_smc_update()
explicitly when they suspect that the answers given by the embedded
SMA may have changed.
Receive completion handlers now get passed an address vector
containing the information extracted from the packet headers
(including the GRH, if present), and only the payload remains in the
I/O buffer.
This breaks the symmetry between transmit and receive completions, so
remove the ib_completer_t type and use an ib_completion_queue_operations
structure instead.
Rename the "destination QPN" and "destination LID" fields in struct
ib_address_vector to reflect its new dual usage.
Since the ib_completion structure now contains only an IB status code,
("syndrome") replace it with a generic gPXE integer status code.
