The post_send() path determines if it should post directly or, schedule
the post for later. The current logic is:
if the swqe ring is empty or (for hfi1) wqe->length <= piothreshold
post the send
else
schedule
This can allow large requests to call the send engine directly. Large
requests can potentially produce a large number of packets prior to
returning to the caller, blocking the caller from posting more requests,
and allowing better parallel processing.
Allow the driver(s) more say in this logic (pass call_send to the driver,
rather than examining a return value).
Update hfi1/qib logic to schedule the send engine if an RC or UC message
is larger than the QP MTU size.

Currently a matcher can only be created and attached to a NIC RX flow
table. Extend it to allow it on NIC TX flow tables as well.
In order to achieve that, we:
1) Expose a new attribute: MLX5_IB_ATTR_FLOW_MATCHER_FLOW_FLAGS.
enum ib_flow_flags is used as valid flags. Only
IB_FLOW_ATTR_FLAGS_EGRESS is supported.
2) Remove the requirement to have a DEVX or QP destination when creating a
flow. A flow added to NIC TX flow table will forward the packet outside
of the vport (Wire or E-Switch in the SR-iOV case).

The upstream kernel commit cited below modified the workqueue in the
new CQ API to be bound to a specific CPU (instead of being unbound).
This caused ALL users of the new CQ API to use the same bound WQ.
Specifically, MAD handling was severely delayed when the CPU bound
to the WQ was busy handling (higher priority) interrupts.
This caused a delay in the MAD "heartbeat" response handling,
which resulted in ports being incorrectly classified as "down".
To fix this, add a new "unbound" WQ type to the new CQ API, so that users
have the option to choose either a bound WQ or an unbound WQ.
For MADs, choose the new "unbound" WQ.

Inside of start_xmit() the call to check if the connection is up and the
queueing of the packets for later transmission is not atomic which leaves
a window where cm_rep_handler can run, set the connection up, dequeue
pending packets and leave the subsequently queued packets by start_xmit()
sitting on neigh->queue until they're dropped when the connection is torn
down. This only applies to connected mode. These dropped packets can
really upset TCP, for example, and cause multi-minute delays in
transmission for open connections.
Here's the code in start_xmit where we check to see if the connection is
up:
if (ipoib_cm_get(neigh)) {
if (ipoib_cm_up(neigh)) {
ipoib_cm_send(dev, skb, ipoib_cm_get(neigh));
goto unref;
}
}
The race occurs if cm_rep_handler execution occurs after the above
connection check (specifically if it gets to the point where it acquires
priv->lock to dequeue pending skb's) but before the below code snippet in
start_xmit where packets are queued.
if (skb_queue_len(&neigh->queue) < IPOIB_MAX_PATH_REC_QUEUE) {
push_pseudo_header(skb, phdr->hwaddr);
spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags);
__skb_queue_tail(&neigh->queue, skb);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags);
} else {
++dev->stats.tx_dropped;
dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
}
The patch acquires the netif tx lock in cm_rep_handler for the section
where it sets the connection up and dequeues and retransmits deferred
skb's.

Pull Flow actions to mutate packets from Leon Romanovsky:
====================
This series exposes the ability to create flow actions which can
mutate packet headers. We do that by exposing two new verbs:
* modify header - can change existing packet headers. packet
* reformat - can encapsulate or decapsulate a packet.
Once created a flow action must be attached to a steering
rule for it to take effect.
The first 10 patches refactor mlx5_core code, rename internal structures
to better reflect their operation and export needed functions so the RDMA
side can allocate the action.
The last 5 patches expose via the IOCTL infrastructure mlx5_ib methods
which do the actual allocation of resources and return an handle to the
user. A user of this API is expected to know how to work with the device's
spec as the input to those function is HW depended.
An example usage of the modify header action is routing, A user can create
an action which edits the L2 header and decrease the TTL.
An example usage of the packet reformat action is VXLAN encap/decap which
is done by the HW.
