This driver was first merged over 10 years ago and has not seen major
activity by the authors in the last 7 years. However, in that time it has
been patched 150 times to adapt it to changing kernel APIs.
Further, the hardware has several issues, like not supporting 64 bit DMA,
that make it rather uninteresting for use with modern systems and RDMA.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

This patch series adds a driver for a paravirtual RDMA device. The
device is developed for VMware's Virtual Machines and allows existing RDMA
applications to continue to use existing Verbs API when deployed in VMs
on ESXi. We recently did a presentation in the OFA Workshop [1] regarding
this device.
Description and RDMA Support
============================
The virtual device is exposed as a dual function PCIe device. One part
is a virtual network device (VMXNet3) which provides networking properties
like MAC, IP addresses to the RDMA part of the device. The networking
properties are used to register GIDs required by RDMA applications to
communicate.
These patches add support and the all required infrastructure for
letting applications use such a device. We support the mandatory Verbs API as
well as the base memory management extensions (Local Inv, Send with Inv and
Fast Register Work Requests). We currently support both Reliable Connected
and Unreliable Datagram QPs but do not support Shared Receive Queues
(SRQs).
Also, we support the following types of Work Requests:
o Send/Receive (with or without Immediate Data)
o RDMA Write (with or without Immediate Data)
o RDMA Read
o Local Invalidate
o Send with Invalidate
o Fast Register Work Requests
This version only adds support for version 1 of RoCE. We will add RoCEv2
support in a future patch. We do support registration of both MAC-based
and IP-based GIDs. I have also created a git tree for our user-level driver
[2].
Testing
=======
We have tested this internally for various types of Guest OS - Red Hat,
Centos, Ubuntu 12.04/14.04/16.04, Oracle Enterprise Linux, SLES 12
using backported versions of this driver. The tests included several
runs of the performance tests (included with OFED), Intel MPI PingPong
benchmark on OpenMPI, krping for FRWRs. Mellanox has been kind enough
to test the backported version of the driver internally on their hardware
using a VMware provided ESX build. I have also applied and tested this
with Doug's k.o/for-4.9 branch (commit 5603910b). Note, that this patch
series should be applied all together. I split out the commits so that
it may be easier to review.

The ehca driver is only supported on IBM machines with a custom EBus.
As they have opted to build their newer machines using more industry
standard technology and haven't really been pushing EBus capable
machines for a while, this driver can now safely be moved to the
staging area and scheduled for eventual removal. This plan was brought
to IBM's attention and received their sign-off.

This patch creates a Makefile in hw/ and ulp/ and moves each

Makefiles.
It should not break build except if some hw/ drivers or ulp/ were
allowed previously to be built while CONFIG_INFINIBAND is set to 'n',
but according to drivers/infiniband/Kconfig, it's not possible. So it
should be safe to apply.
