2009-11-16RDMA/ucma: Add option to manually set IB pathSean Hefty
Export rdma_set_ib_paths to user space to allow applications to manually set the IB path used for connections. This allows alternative ways for a user space application or library to obtain path record information, including retrieving path information from cached data, avoiding direct interaction with the IB SA. The IB SA is a single, centralized entity that can limit scaling on large clusters running MPI applications. Future changes to the rdma cm can expand on this framework to support the full range of features allowed by the IB CM, such as separate forward and reverse paths and APM.

2008-01-25RDMA/cma: add support for rdma_migrate_id() Sean Hefty
This is based on user feedback from Doug Ledford at RedHat: Events that occur on an rdma_cm_id are reported to userspace through an event channel. Connection request events are reported on the event channel associated with the listen. When the connection is accepted, a new rdma_cm_id is created and automatically uses the listen event channel. This is suboptimal where the user only wants listen events on that channel. Additionally, it may be desirable to have events related to connection establishment use a different event channel than those related to already established connections. Allow the user to migrate an rdma_cm_id between event channels. All pending events associated with the rdma_cm_id are moved to the new event channel.

2007-02-16RDMA/cma: Add multicast communication supportSean Hefty
Extend rdma_cm to support multicast communication. Multicast support is added to the existing RDMA_PS_UDP port space, as well as a new RDMA_PS_IPOIB port space. The latter port space allows joining the multicast groups used by IPoIB, which enables offloading IPoIB traffic to a separate QP. The port space determines the signature used in the MGID when joining the group. The newly added RDMA_PS_IPOIB also allows for unicast operations, similar to RDMA_PS_UDP. Supporting the RDMA_PS_IPOIB requires changing how UD QPs are initialized, since we can no longer assume that the qkey is constant. This requires saving the Q_Key to use when attaching to a device, so that it is available when creating the QP. The Q_Key information is exported to the user through the existing rdma_init_qp_attr() interface. Multicast support is also exported to userspace through the rdma_ucm.
