This is the sixth version of the patch series. Change log:
v6: * Rebase to the latest rdma-core master (commit 14006f2f841b0c) * Update the ABI symbol version to match new package version; also bump the private ABI version because new function has been added to the provider interface * Avoid changing 'struct ibv_context_ops' by replacing SET_OP() with SET_PRIV_OP_IC() * Replace sprintf() with snprintf() * Keep the ops in verbs_set_ops() sorted * Fix some styling issues: extra spaces, struct 0-initialization, error checking control flow
v5: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg99015.html * Use a different mr_type for dmabuf so that ibv_dofork_range() is not called inside ibv_dereg_mr() for dmabuf based mr
v4: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg98135.html * Rework the cmake funciton rdma_cython_module to support both single source (.pyx) and multiple source (.pyx + [.c]*) scenarios instead of using two separate functions * Rename 'dri_*' to 'drm_*' for the dmabuf allocation interface * Add option to dmabuf allocation routine to allow allocation from GTT instead of VRAM * Add proper CPU access flags when allocating dmabufs * Remove 'radeon' driver support from the dmabuf allocation routines * Add comand line arguments to the tests for selecting GPU unit and setting the option for allocating from GTT
v3: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg98059.html * Add parameter 'iova' to the new ibv_reg_dmabuf_mr() API * Change the way of allocating dma-buf object - use /dev/dri/renderD* instead of /dev/dri/card* and use GEM object instead of dumb buffer * Add cmake function to allow building modules with mixed cython and C source files * Add new tests that use dma-buf MRs for send/recv and rdma traffic * Skip dma-buf tests on unsupported systems * Remove some use of random values in the new tests * Add dealloc() and close() methods to the new classes * Replace string.format with f-string in python code * Fix some coding style issues: spacing, indentation, typo, comments
v2: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg97936.html * Put the kernel header updates into a separate commit * Add comments for the data structure used in python ioctl calls * Fix issues related to symbol versioning * Fix styling issues: extra spaces, unncecessary variable, typo * Fix an inproper error code usage * Put the new op into ibv_context_ops instead if verbs_context
v1: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg97865.html * Add user space API for registering dma-buf based memory regions * Update pyverbs with the new API * Add new tests
This is the user space counter-part of the kernel patch set to add dma-buf support to the RDMA subsystem.
This series consists of six patches. The first patch updates the kernel headers for dma-buf support. Patch 2 adds the new API function and updates the man pages. Patch 3 implements the new API in the mlx5 provider. Patch 4 adds new class definitions to pyverbs for the new API. Patch 5 adds a set of new tests for the new API. Patch 6 fixes bug in the utility code of the tests.
