IB/umad: Add P_Key index support
Add support for setting the P_Key index of sent MADs and getting the P_Key index of received MADs. This requires a change to the layout of the ABI structure struct ib_user_mad_hdr, so to avoid breaking compatibility, we default to the old (unchanged) ABI and add a new ioctl IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY that allows applications that are aware of the new ABI to opt into using it. We plan on switching to the new ABI by default in a year or so, and this patch adds a warning that is printed when an application uses the old ABI, to push people towards converting to the new ABI.

P_Key Index Handling
|
||||
|
||||
The old ib_umad interface did not allow setting the P_Key index for
|
||||
MADs that are sent and did not provide a way for obtaining the P_Key
|
||||
index of received MADs. A new layout for struct ib_user_mad_hdr
|
||||
with a pkey_index member has been defined; however, to preserve
|
||||
binary compatibility with older applications, this new layout will
|
||||
not be used unless the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl is called
|
||||
before a file descriptor is used for anything else.
|
||||
|
||||
In September 2008, the IB_USER_MAD_ABI_VERSION will be incremented
|
||||
to 6, the new layout of struct ib_user_mad_hdr will be used by
|
||||
default, and the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl will be removed.
