2014-03-20IB/qib: Change SDMA progression mode depending on single- or multi-railCQ Tang
Improve performance by changing the behavour of the driver when all SDMA descriptors are in use, and the processes adding new descriptors are single- or multi-rail. For single-rail processes, the driver will block the call and finish posting all SDMA descriptors onto the hardware queue before returning back to PSM. Repeated kernel calls are slower than blocking. For multi-rail processes, the driver will return to PSM as quick as possible so PSM can feed packets to other rail. If all hardware queues are full, PSM will buffer the remaining SDMA descriptors until notified by interrupt that space is available. This patch builds a red-black tree to track the number rails opened by a particular PID. If the number is more than one, it is a multi-rail PSM process, otherwise, it is a single-rail process.

2013-11-08IB/qib: Convert qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() to use get_user_pages_fast()Jan Kara
qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() gets called with mmap_sem held for writing. Except for get_user_pages() deep down in qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() we don't seem to need mmap_sem at all. Even more interestingly the function qib_user_sdma_queue_pkts() (and also qib_user_sdma_coalesce() called somewhat later) call copy_from_user() which can hit a page fault and we deadlock on trying to get mmap_sem when handling that fault. So just make qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() use get_user_pages_fast() and leave mmap_sem locking for mm. This deadlock has actually been observed in the wild when the node is under memory pressure.

2013-08-13IB/qib: Improve SDMA performanceCQ Tang
1. The code accepts chunks of messages, and splits the chunk into packets when converting packets into sdma queue entries. Adjacent packets will use user buffer pages smartly to avoid pinning the same page multiple times. 2. Instead of discarding all the work when SDMA queue is full, the work is saved in a pending queue. Whenever there are enough SDMA queue free entries, pending queue is directly put onto SDMA queue. 3. An interrupt handler is used to progress this pending queue.
