2014-03-12mlx4: Implement IP based gids support for RoCE/SRIOVJack Morgenstein
Since there is no connection between the MAC/VLAN and the GID when using IP-based addressing, the proxy QP1 (running on the slave) must pass the source-mac, destination-mac, and vlan_id information separately from the GID. Additionally, the Host must pass the remote source-mac and vlan_id back to the slave, This is achieved as follows: Outgoing MADs: 1. Source MAC: obtained from the CQ completion structure (struct ib_wc, smac field). 2. Destination MAC: obtained from the tunnel header 3. vlan_id: obtained from the tunnel header. Incoming MADs 1. The source (i.e., remote) MAC and vlan_id are passed in the tunnel header to the proxy QP1. VST mode support: For outgoing MADs, the vlan_id obtained from the header is discarded, and the vlan_id specified by the Hypervisor is used instead. For incoming MADs, the incoming vlan_id (in the wc) is discarded, and the "invalid" vlan (0xffff) is substituted when forwarding to the slave.

2014-03-12mlx4: Add ref counting to port MAC table for RoCEJack Morgenstein
The IB side of RoCE requires the MAC table index of the MAC address used by its QPs. To obtain the real MAC index, the IB side registers the MAC (increasing its ref count, and also returning the real MAC index) during the modify-qp sequence. This protects against the ETH side deleting or modifying that MAC table entry while the QP is active. Note that until the modify-qp command returns success, the MAC and VLAN information only has "candidate" status. If the modify-qp succeeds, the "candidate" info is promoted to the operational MAC/VLAN info for the qp. If the modify fails, the candidate MAC/VLAN is unregistered, and the old qp info is preserved. The patch is a bit complex, because there are multiple qp transitions where the primary-path information may be modified: INIT-to-RTR, and SQD-to-SQD. Similarly for the alternate path information. Therefore the code must handle cases where path information has already been entered into the QP context by previous qp transitions. For the MAC address, the success logic is as follows: 1. If there was no previous MAC, simply move the candidate MAC information to the operational information, and reset the candidate MAC info. 2. If there was a previous MAC, unregister it. Then move the MAC information from candidate to operational, and reset the candidate info (as in 1. above). The MAC address failure logic is the same for all cases: - Unregister the candidate MAC, and reset the candidate MAC info. For Vlan registration, the logic is similar.

2014-03-12mlx4: In RoCE allow guests to have multiple GIDSJack Morgenstein
The GIDs are statically distributed, as follows: PF: gets 16 GIDs VFs: Remaining GIDS are divided evenly between VFs activated by the driver. If the division is not even, lower-numbered VFs get an extra GID. For an IB interface, the number of gids per guest remains as before: one gid per guest.

2014-03-12mlx4_core: For RoCE, allow slaves to set the GID entry at that slave's indexJack Morgenstein
For IB transport, the host determines the slave GIDs. For ETH (RoCE), however, the slave's GID is determined by the IP address that the slave itself assigns to the ETH device used by RoCE. In this case, the slave must be able to write its GIDs to the HCA gid table (at the GID indices that slave "owns"). This commit adds processing for the SET_PORT_GID_TABLE opcode modifier for the SET_PORT command wrapper (so that slaves may modify their GIDS for RoCE).

2014-03-12tipc: eliminate redundant lookups in registryJon Paul Maloy
As an artefact from the native interface, the message sending functions in the port takes a port ref as first parameter, and then looks up in the registry to find the corresponding port pointer. This despite the fact that the only currently existing caller, tipc_sock, already knows this pointer. We change the signature of these functions to take a struct tipc_port* argument, and remove the redundant lookups. We also remove an unmotivated extra lookup in the function socket.c:auto_connect(), and, as the lookup functions tipc_port_deref() and ref_deref() now become unused, we remove these two functions.

The practice of naming variables in TIPC is inconistent, sometimes even within the same file.

The three functions tipc_portimportance(), tipc_portunreliable() and tipc_portunreturnable() and their corresponding tipc_set* functions, are all grabbing port_lock when accessing the targeted port. This is unnecessary in the current code, since these calls only are made from within socket downcalls, already protected by sock_lock. We remove the redundant locking. Also, since the functions now become trivial one-liners, we move them to port.h and make them inline.

2014-03-12tipc: eliminate upcall function pointers between port and socketJon Paul Maloy
Due to the original one-to-many relation between port and user API layers, upcalls to the API have been performed via function pointers, installed in struct tipc_port at creation. Since this relation now always is one-to-one, we can instead use ordinary function calls. We remove the function pointers 'dispatcher' and ´wakeup' from struct tipc_port, and replace them with calls to the renamed functions tipc_sk_rcv() and tipc_sk_wakeup(). At the same time we change the name and signature of the functions tipc_createport() and tipc_deleteport() to reflect their new role as mere initialization/destruction functions.

2014-03-12tipc: aggregate port structure into socket structureJon Paul Maloy
After the removal of the tipc native API the relation between a tipc_port and its API types is strictly one-to-one, i.e, the latter can now only be a socket API. There is therefore no need to allocate struct tipc_port and struct sock independently. In this commit, we aggregate struct tipc_port into struct tipc_sock, hence saving both CPU cycles and structure complexity. There are no functional changes in this commit, except for the elimination of the separate allocation/freeing of tipc_port. All other changes are just adaptatons to the new data structure. This commit also opens up for further code simplifications and code volume reduction, something we will do in later commits.
