Hi all,here's another set of patches related to RDS. The patches can be found in git://git.openfabrics.org/ofed_1_3/linux-2.6 and git://git.openfabrics.org/ofed_1_3/rds-tools There are seven kernel patches. I would very much like to see the first four of them in OFED 1.3.1 if possible. On the remaining 3, I'm not particularly religious - I'm fine if they make it into 1.3.* at a later time. RDS: Fix IB max_unacked_* sysctls Straightforward bugfix. mthca/mlx4: avoid recycling old FMR R_Keys too soon This is a re-run of a mthca patch I posted a while back; Jack Morgenstein requested that I should make the same change in the mlx4 driver. Here it is; review and feedback much appreciated. Reduce struct rds_ib_send_work size RDS: Increase the default number of WRs These two patches go together; they shrink the size of the send work entry we allocate in favor of allocating more of them. I would very much like to see these in OFED 1.3.1 RDS: Two small code reorgs in the connection code RDS: Use IB for loopback These also go together. For loopback traffic, we need to use IB if available, instead of the special loopback transport currently used. The reason is that lots of our tests run on single hosts over loopback, and we want to stress things like RDMA. RDS: Implement rds ping This is really a new feature. Essentially, ping over RDS. There's a companion patch to rds-tools that implements the rds-ping user space utility that leverages the functionality added by the kernel patch above. Olaf
Applied to ofed_1_3/linux-2.6.git and to ofed_1_3/rds-tools.git. The following OFED build includes these patches: http://www.openfabrics.org/builds/ofed-1.3.1/OFED-1.3.1-20080429-0110.tgz Regards, Vladimir _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
