2017-07-29net/smc: use separate memory regions for RMBsUrsula Braun
SMC currently uses the unsafe_global_rkey of the protection domain, which exposes all memory for remote reads and writes once a connection is established. This patch introduces separate memory regions with separate rkeys for every RMB. Now the unsafe_global_rkey of the protection domain is no longer needed.

2017-07-29net/smc: introduce sg-logic for RMBsUrsula Braun
The follow-on patch makes use of ib_map_mr_sg() when introducing separate memory regions for RMBs. This function is based on scatterlists; thus this patch introduces scatterlists for RMBs. Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-05-16smc: switch to usage of IB_PD_UNSAFE_GLOBAL_RKEYUrsula Braun
Currently, SMC enables remote access to physical memory when a user has successfully configured and established an SMC-connection until ten minutes after the last SMC connection is closed. Because this is considered a security risk, drivers are supposed to use IB_PD_UNSAFE_GLOBAL_RKEY in such a case. This patch changes the current SMC code to use IB_PD_UNSAFE_GLOBAL_RKEY. This improves user awareness, but does not remove the security risk itself. Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2017-01-09smc: work request (WR) base for use by LLC and CDCUrsula Braun
The base containers for RDMA transport are work requests and completion queue entries processed through Infiniband verbs: * allocate and initialize these areas * map these areas to DMA * implement the basic communication consisting of work request posting and receival of completion queue events Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2017-01-09smc: remote memory buffers (RMBs)Ursula Braun
* allocate data RMB memory for sending and receiving * size depends on the maximum socket send and receive buffers * allocated RMBs are kept during life time of the owning link group * map the allocated RMBs to DMA Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
