+INFINIBAND MIDLAYER LOCKING
+
+  This guide is an attempt to make explicit the locking assumptions
+  made by the InfiniBand midlayer.  It describes the requirements on
+  both low-level drivers that sit below the midlayer and upper level
+  protocols that use the midlayer.
+
+Sleeping and interrupt context
+
+  With the following exceptions, a low-level driver implementation of
+  all of the methods in struct ib_device may sleep.  The exceptions
+  are any methods from the list:
+
+    create_ah
+    modify_ah
+    query_ah
+    destroy_ah
+    bind_mw
+    post_send
+    post_recv
+    poll_cq
+    req_notify_cq
+    map_phys_fmr
+
+  which may not sleep and must be callable from any context.
+
+  The corresponding functions exported to upper level protocol
+  consumers:
+
+    ib_create_ah
+    ib_modify_ah
+    ib_query_ah
+    ib_destroy_ah
+    ib_bind_mw
+    ib_post_send
+    ib_post_recv
+    ib_req_notify_cq
+    ib_map_phys_fmr
+
+  are therefore safe to call from any context.
+
+  In addition, the function
+
+    ib_dispatch_event
+
+  used by low-level drivers to dispatch asynchronous events through
+  the midlayer is also safe to call from any context.
+
+Reentrancy
+
+  All of the methods in struct ib_device exported by a low-level
+  driver must be fully reentrant.  The low-level driver is required to
+  perform all synchronization necessary to maintain consistency, even
+  if multiple function calls using the same object are run
+  simultaneously.
+
+  The IB midlayer does not perform any serialization of function calls.
+
+  Because low-level drivers are reentrant, upper level protocol
+  consumers are not required to perform any serialization.  However,
+  some serialization may be required to get sensible results.  For
+  example, a consumer may safely call ib_poll_cq() on multiple CPUs
+  simultaneously.  However, the ordering of the work completion
+  information between different calls of ib_poll_cq() is not defined.
+
+Callbacks
+
+  A low-level driver must not perform a callback directly from the
+  same callchain as an ib_device method call.  For example, it is not
+  allowed for a low-level driver to call a consumer's completion event
+  handler directly from its post_send method.  Instead, the low-level
+  driver should defer this callback by, for example, scheduling a
+  tasklet to perform the callback.
+
+  The low-level driver is responsible for ensuring that multiple
+  completion event handlers for the same CQ are not called
+  simultaneously.  The driver must guarantee that only one CQ event
+  handler for a given CQ is running at a time.  In other words, the
+  following situation is not allowed:
+
+        CPU1                                    CPU2
+
+  low-level driver ->
+    consumer CQ event callback:
+      /* ... */
+      ib_req_notify_cq(cq, ...);
+                                        low-level driver ->
+      /* ... */                           consumer CQ event callback:
+                                            /* ... */
+      return from CQ event handler
+
+  The context in which completion event and asynchronous event
+  callbacks run is not defined.  Depending on the low-level driver, it
+  may be process context, softirq context, or interrupt context.
+  Upper level protocol consumers may not sleep in a callback.
+
+Hot-plug
+
+  A low-level driver announces that a device is ready for use by
+  consumers when it calls ib_register_device(), all initialization
+  must be complete before this call.  The device must remain usable
+  until the driver's call to ib_unregister_device() has returned.
+
+  A low-level driver must call ib_register_device() and
+  ib_unregister_device() from process context.  It must not hold any
+  semaphores that could cause deadlock if a consumer calls back into
+  the driver across these calls.
+
+  An upper level protocol consumer may begin using an IB device as
+  soon as the add method of its struct ib_client is called for that
+  device.  A consumer must finish all cleanup and free all resources
+  relating to a device before returning from the remove method.
+
+  A consumer is permitted to sleep in its add and remove methods.

+IP OVER INFINIBAND
+
+  The ib_ipoib driver is an implementation of the IP over InfiniBand
+  protocol as specified by RFC 4391 and 4392, issued by the IETF ipoib
+  working group.  It is a "native" implementation in the sense of
+  setting the interface type to ARPHRD_INFINIBAND and the hardware
+  address length to 20 (earlier proprietary implementations
+  masqueraded to the kernel as ethernet interfaces).
+
+Partitions and P_Keys
+
+  When the IPoIB driver is loaded, it creates one interface for each
+  port using the P_Key at index 0.  To create an interface with a
+  different P_Key, write the desired P_Key into the main interface's
+  /sys/class/net/<intf name>/create_child file.  For example:
+
+    echo 0x8001 > /sys/class/net/ib0/create_child
+
+  This will create an interface named ib0.8001 with P_Key 0x8001.  To
+  remove a subinterface, use the "delete_child" file:
+
+    echo 0x8001 > /sys/class/net/ib0/delete_child
+
+  The P_Key for any interface is given by the "pkey" file, and the
+  main interface for a subinterface is in "parent."
+
+Datagram vs Connected modes
+
+  The IPoIB driver supports two modes of operation: datagram and
+  connected.  The mode is set and read through an interface's
+  /sys/class/net/<intf name>/mode file.
+
+  In datagram mode, the IB UD (Unreliable Datagram) transport is used
+  and so the interface MTU has is equal to the IB L2 MTU minus the
+  IPoIB encapsulation header (4 bytes).  For example, in a typical IB
+  fabric with a 2K MTU, the IPoIB MTU will be 2048 - 4 = 2044 bytes.
+
+  In connected mode, the IB RC (Reliable Connected) transport is used.
+  Connected mode takes advantage of the connected nature of the IB
+  transport and allows an MTU up to the maximal IP packet size of 64K,
+  which reduces the number of IP packets needed for handling large UDP
+  datagrams, TCP segments, etc and increases the performance for large
+  messages.
+
+  In connected mode, the interface's UD QP is still used for multicast
+  and communication with peers that don't support connected mode. In
+  this case, RX emulation of ICMP PMTU packets is used to cause the
+  networking stack to use the smaller UD MTU for these neighbours.
+
+Stateless offloads
+
+  If the IB HW supports IPoIB stateless offloads, IPoIB advertises
+  TCP/IP checksum and/or Large Send (LSO) offloading capability to the
+  network stack.
+
+  Large Receive (LRO) offloading is also implemented and may be turned
+  on/off using ethtool calls.  Currently LRO is supported only for
+  checksum offload capable devices.
+
+  Stateless offloads are supported only in datagram mode.  
+
+Interrupt moderation
+
+  If the underlying IB device supports CQ event moderation, one can
+  use ethtool to set interrupt mitigation parameters and thus reduce
+  the overhead incurred by handling interrupts.  The main code path of
+  IPoIB doesn't use events for TX completion signaling so only RX
+  moderation is supported.
+
+Debugging Information
+
+  By compiling the IPoIB driver with CONFIG_INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG set
+  to 'y', tracing messages are compiled into the driver.  They are
+  turned on by setting the module parameters debug_level and
+  mcast_debug_level to 1.  These parameters can be controlled at
+  runtime through files in /sys/module/ib_ipoib/.
+
+  CONFIG_INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG also enables files in the debugfs
+  virtual filesystem.  By mounting this filesystem, for example with
+
+    mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+
+  it is possible to get statistics about multicast groups from the
+  files /sys/kernel/debug/ipoib/ib0_mcg and so on.
+
+  The performance impact of this option is negligible, so it
+  is safe to enable this option with debug_level set to 0 for normal
+  operation.
+
+  CONFIG_INFINIBAND_IPOIB_DEBUG_DATA enables even more debug output in
+  the data path when data_debug_level is set to 1.  However, even with
+  the output disabled, enabling this configuration option will affect
+  performance, because it adds tests to the fast path.

+SYSFS FILES
+
+  For each InfiniBand device, the InfiniBand drivers create the
+  following files under /sys/class/infiniband/<device name>:
+
+    node_type      - Node type (CA, switch or router)
+    node_guid      - Node GUID
+    sys_image_guid - System image GUID
+
+  In addition, there is a "ports" subdirectory, with one subdirectory
+  for each port.  For example, if mthca0 is a 2-port HCA, there will
+  be two directories:
+
+    /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/ports/1
+    /sys/class/infiniband/mthca0/ports/2
+
+  (A switch will only have a single "0" subdirectory for switch port
+  0; no subdirectory is created for normal switch ports)
+
+  In each port subdirectory, the following files are created:
+
+    cap_mask       - Port capability mask
+    lid            - Port LID
+    lid_mask_count - Port LID mask count
+    rate           - Port data rate (active width * active speed)
+    sm_lid         - Subnet manager LID for port's subnet
+    sm_sl          - Subnet manager SL for port's subnet
+    state          - Port state (DOWN, INIT, ARMED, ACTIVE or ACTIVE_DEFER)
+    phys_state     - Port physical state (Sleep, Polling, LinkUp, etc)
+
+  There is also a "counters" subdirectory, with files
+
+    VL15_dropped
+    excessive_buffer_overrun_errors
+    link_downed
+    link_error_recovery
+    local_link_integrity_errors

+    port_xmit_constraint_errors
+    port_xmit_data
+    port_xmit_discards
+    port_xmit_packets
+    symbol_error
+
+  Each of these files contains the corresponding value from the port's
+  Performance Management PortCounters attribute, as described in
+  section 16.1.3.5 of the InfiniBand Architecture Specification.
+
+  The "pkeys" and "gids" subdirectories contain one file for each
+  entry in the port's P_Key or GID table respectively.  For example,
+  ports/1/pkeys/10 contains the value at index 10 in port 1's P_Key
+  table.
+
+MTHCA
+
+  The Mellanox HCA driver also creates the files:
+
+    hw_rev   - Hardware revision number
+    fw_ver   - Firmware version
+    hca_type - HCA type: "MT23108", "MT25208 (MT23108 compat mode)",
+               or "MT25208"

+USERSPACE MAD ACCESS
+
+Device files
+
+  Each port of each InfiniBand device has a "umad" device and an
+  "issm" device attached.  For example, a two-port HCA will have two
+  umad devices and two issm devices, while a switch will have one
+  device of each type (for switch port 0).
+
+Creating MAD agents
+
+  A MAD agent can be created by filling in a struct ib_user_mad_reg_req
+  and then calling the IB_USER_MAD_REGISTER_AGENT ioctl on a file
+  descriptor for the appropriate device file.  If the registration
+  request succeeds, a 32-bit id will be returned in the structure.
+  For example:
+
+	struct ib_user_mad_reg_req req = { /* ... */ };
+	ret = ioctl(fd, IB_USER_MAD_REGISTER_AGENT, (char *) &req);
+        if (!ret)
+		my_agent = req.id;
+	else
+		perror("agent register");
+
+  Agents can be unregistered with the IB_USER_MAD_UNREGISTER_AGENT
+  ioctl.  Also, all agents registered through a file descriptor will
+  be unregistered when the descriptor is closed.
+
+Receiving MADs
+
+  MADs are received using read().  The receive side now supports
+  RMPP. The buffer passed to read() must be at least one
+  struct ib_user_mad + 256 bytes. For example:
+
+  If the buffer passed is not large enough to hold the received
+  MAD (RMPP), the errno is set to ENOSPC and the length of the
+  buffer needed is set in mad.length.
+
+  Example for normal MAD (non RMPP) reads:
+	struct ib_user_mad *mad;
+	mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + 256);
+	ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + 256);
+	if (ret != sizeof mad + 256) {
+		perror("read");
+		free(mad);
+	}
+
+  Example for RMPP reads:
+	struct ib_user_mad *mad;
+	mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + 256);
+	ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + 256);
+	if (ret == -ENOSPC)) {
+		length = mad.length;
+		free(mad);
+		mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + length);
+		ret = read(fd, mad, sizeof *mad + length);
+	}
+	if (ret < 0) {
+		perror("read");
+		free(mad);
+	}
+
+  In addition to the actual MAD contents, the other struct ib_user_mad
+  fields will be filled in with information on the received MAD.  For
+  example, the remote LID will be in mad.lid.
+
+  If a send times out, a receive will be generated with mad.status set
+  to ETIMEDOUT.  Otherwise when a MAD has been successfully received,
+  mad.status will be 0.
+
+  poll()/select() may be used to wait until a MAD can be read.
+
+Sending MADs
+
+  MADs are sent using write().  The agent ID for sending should be
+  filled into the id field of the MAD, the destination LID should be
+  filled into the lid field, and so on.  The send side does support
+  RMPP so arbitrary length MAD can be sent. For example:
+
+	struct ib_user_mad *mad;
+
+	mad = malloc(sizeof *mad + mad_length);
+
+	/* fill in mad->data */
+
+	mad->hdr.id  = my_agent;	/* req.id from agent registration */
+	mad->hdr.lid = my_dest;		/* in network byte order... */
+	/* etc. */
+
+	ret = write(fd, &mad, sizeof *mad + mad_length);
+	if (ret != sizeof *mad + mad_length)
+		perror("write");
+
+Transaction IDs
+
+  Users of the umad devices can use the lower 32 bits of the
+  transaction ID field (that is, the least significant half of the
+  field in network byte order) in MADs being sent to match
+  request/response pairs.  The upper 32 bits are reserved for use by
+  the kernel and will be overwritten before a MAD is sent.
+
+P_Key Index Handling
+
+  The old ib_umad interface did not allow setting the P_Key index for
+  MADs that are sent and did not provide a way for obtaining the P_Key
+  index of received MADs.  A new layout for struct ib_user_mad_hdr
+  with a pkey_index member has been defined; however, to preserve
+  binary compatibility with older applications, this new layout will
+  not be used unless the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl is called
+  before a file descriptor is used for anything else.
+
+  In September 2008, the IB_USER_MAD_ABI_VERSION will be incremented
+  to 6, the new layout of struct ib_user_mad_hdr will be used by
+  default, and the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl will be removed.
+
+Setting IsSM Capability Bit
+
+  To set the IsSM capability bit for a port, simply open the
+  corresponding issm device file.  If the IsSM bit is already set,
+  then the open call will block until the bit is cleared (or return
+  immediately with errno set to EAGAIN if the O_NONBLOCK flag is
+  passed to open()).  The IsSM bit will be cleared when the issm file
+  is closed.  No read, write or other operations can be performed on
+  the issm file.
+
+/dev files
+
+  To create the appropriate character device files automatically with
+  udev, a rule like
+
+    KERNEL=="umad*", NAME="infiniband/%k"
+    KERNEL=="issm*", NAME="infiniband/%k"
+
+  can be used.  This will create device nodes named
+
+    /dev/infiniband/umad0
+    /dev/infiniband/issm0
+
+  for the first port, and so on.  The InfiniBand device and port
+  associated with these devices can be determined from the files
+
+    /sys/class/infiniband_mad/umad0/ibdev
+    /sys/class/infiniband_mad/umad0/port
+
+  and
+
+    /sys/class/infiniband_mad/issm0/ibdev

+USERSPACE VERBS ACCESS
+
+  The ib_uverbs module, built by enabling CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_VERBS,
+  enables direct userspace access to IB hardware via "verbs," as
+  described in chapter 11 of the InfiniBand Architecture Specification.
+
+  To use the verbs, the libibverbs library, available from
+  http://www.openfabrics.org/, is required.  libibverbs contains a
+  device-independent API for using the ib_uverbs interface.
+  libibverbs also requires appropriate device-dependent kernel and
+  userspace driver for your InfiniBand hardware.  For example, to use
+  a Mellanox HCA, you will need the ib_mthca kernel module and the
+  libmthca userspace driver be installed.
+
+User-kernel communication
+
+  Userspace communicates with the kernel for slow path, resource
+  management operations via the /dev/infiniband/uverbsN character
+  devices.  Fast path operations are typically performed by writing
+  directly to hardware registers mmap()ed into userspace, with no
+  system call or context switch into the kernel.
+
+  Commands are sent to the kernel via write()s on these device files.
+  The ABI is defined in drivers/infiniband/include/ib_user_verbs.h.
+  The structs for commands that require a response from the kernel
+  contain a 64-bit field used to pass a pointer to an output buffer.
+  Status is returned to userspace as the return value of the write()
+  system call.
+
+Resource management
+
+  Since creation and destruction of all IB resources is done by
+  commands passed through a file descriptor, the kernel can keep track
+  of which resources are attached to a given userspace context.  The
+  ib_uverbs module maintains idr tables that are used to translate
+  between kernel pointers and opaque userspace handles, so that kernel
+  pointers are never exposed to userspace and userspace cannot trick
+  the kernel into following a bogus pointer.
+
+  This also allows the kernel to clean up when a process exits and
+  prevent one process from touching another process's resources.
+
+Memory pinning
+
+  Direct userspace I/O requires that memory regions that are potential
+  I/O targets be kept resident at the same physical address.  The
+  ib_uverbs module manages pinning and unpinning memory regions via
+  get_user_pages() and put_page() calls.  It also accounts for the
+  amount of memory pinned in the process's locked_vm, and checks that
+  unprivileged processes do not exceed their RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limit.
+
+  Pages that are pinned multiple times are counted each time they are
+  pinned, so the value of locked_vm may be an overestimate of the
+  number of pages pinned by a process.
+
+/dev files
+
+  To create the appropriate character device files automatically with
+  udev, a rule like
+
+    KERNEL=="uverbs*", NAME="infiniband/%k"
+
+  can be used.  This will create device nodes named
+
+    /dev/infiniband/uverbs0
+
+  and so on.  Since the InfiniBand userspace verbs should be safe for
+  use by non-privileged processes, it may be useful to add an
+  appropriate MODE or GROUP to the udev rule.
