This is the third version of the patch series. Change log:
v3: * 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.
