Currently, MADs sent via an agent are being forwarded directly to the corresponding MAD QP layer. MADs with a timeout value set and requiring a response (solicited MADs) will be resent if the timeout expires without receiving a response. In a congested subnet, flooding MAD QP layer with more solicited send requests from the agent will only worsen the situation by triggering more timeouts and therefore more retries. Thus, add flow control for non-user solicited MADs to block agents from issuing new solicited MAD requests to the MAD QP until outstanding requests are completed and the MAD QP is ready to process additional requests. While at it, keep track of the total outstanding solicited MAD work requests in send or wait list. The number of outstanding send WRs will be limited by a fraction of the RQ size, and any new send WR that exceeds that limit will be held in a backlog list. Backlog MADs will be forwarded to agent send list only once the total number of outstanding send WRs falls below the limit. Unsolicited MADs, RMPP MADs and MADs which are not SA, SMP or CM are not subject to this flow control mechanism and will not be affected by this change. For this purpose, a new state is introduced: - 'IB_MAD_STATE_QUEUED': MAD is in backlog list Signed-off-by: Or Har-Toov <ohartoov@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Vlad Dumitrescu <vdumitrescu@nvidia.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/c0ecaa1821badee124cd13f3bf860f67ce453beb.1751278420.git.leon@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leon@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
