2013-12-04IB/qib: Convert qib_user_sdma_pin_pages() to use get_user_pages_fast()Jan Kara
commit 603e7729920e42b3c2f4dbfab9eef4878cb6e8fa upstream. 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.
