The current implementation of create CQ requires contiguous memory, such requirement is problematic once the memory is fragmented or the system is low in memory, it causes for failures in dma_zalloc_coherent(). This patch implements new scheme of fragmented CQ to overcome this issue by introducing new type: 'struct mlx5_frag_buf_ctrl' to allocate fragmented buffers, rather than contiguous ones. Base the Completion Queues (CQs) on this new fragmented buffer. It fixes following crashes: kworker/29:0: page allocation failure: order:6, mode:0x80d0 CPU: 29 PID: 8374 Comm: kworker/29:0 Tainted: G OE 3.10.0 Workqueue: ib_cm cm_work_handler [ib_cm] Call Trace: [<>] dump_stack+0x19/0x1b [<>] warn_alloc_failed+0x110/0x180 [<>] __alloc_pages_slowpath+0x6b7/0x725 [<>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x405/0x420 [<>] dma_generic_alloc_coherent+0x8f/0x140 [<>] x86_swiotlb_alloc_coherent+0x21/0x50 [<>] mlx5_dma_zalloc_coherent_node+0xad/0x110 [mlx5_core] [<>] ? mlx5_db_alloc_node+0x69/0x1b0 [mlx5_core] [<>] mlx5_buf_alloc_node+0x3e/0xa0 [mlx5_core] [<>] mlx5_buf_alloc+0x14/0x20 [mlx5_core] [<>] create_cq_kernel+0x90/0x1f0 [mlx5_ib] [<>] mlx5_ib_create_cq+0x3b0/0x4e0 [mlx5_ib] Signed-off-by: Yonatan Cohen <yonatanc@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leon@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
