Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

Support for the IP-over-InfiniBand protocol (IPoIB). This
transports IP packets over InfiniBand so you can use your IB
device as a fancy NIC.

IPoIB: Connected mode experimental support The following patch adds experimental support for IPoIB connected mode, as defined by the draft from the IETF ipoib working group. The idea is to increase performance by increasing the MTU from the maximum of 2K (theoretically 4K) supported by IPoIB on top of UD. With this code, I'm able to get 800MByte/sec or more with netperf without options on a Mellanox 4x back-to-back DDR system. Some notes on code: 1. SRQ is used for scalability to large cluster sizes 2. Only RC connections are used (UC does not support SRQ now) 3. Retry count is set to 0 since spec draft warns against retries 4. Each connection is used for data transfers in only 1 direction, so each connection is either active(TX) or passive (RX). 2 sides that want to communicate create 2 connections. 5. Each active (TX) connection has a separate CQ for send completions - this keeps the code simple without CQ resize and other tricks 6. To detect stale passive side connections (where the remote side is down), we keep an LRU list of passive connections (updated once per second per connection) and destroy a connection after it has been unused for several seconds. The LRU rule makes it possible to avoid scanning connections that have recently been active. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

bool "IP-over-InfiniBand Connected Mode support"

default n
---help---
This option enables experimental support for IPoIB connected mode.
After enabling this option, you need to switch to connected mode through
/sys/class/net/ibXXX/mode to actually create connections, and then increase
the interface MTU with e.g. ifconfig ib0 mtu 65520.
WARNING: Enabling connected mode will trigger some
packet drops for multicast and UD mode traffic from this interface,
unless you limit mtu for these destinations to 2044.

We want users (and especially distros) to have this turned on unless they really need to save space, because by the time we want debugging output, it's usually too late to rebuild a kernel.

---help---
This option causes debugging code to be compiled into the
IPoIB driver. The output can be turned on via the
debug_level and mcast_debug_level module parameters (which
can also be set after the driver is loaded through sysfs).
This option also creates an "ipoib_debugfs," which can be
mounted to expose debugging information about IB multicast
groups used by the IPoIB driver.

turned off, this debugging code will have some performance
impact.
