Subject: [PATCH v1 3/4] RDMA/core: add MR support for bvec-based RDMA operations
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 09:39:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260114143948.3946615-4-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260114143948.3946615-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
The bvec-based RDMA API currently returns -EOPNOTSUPP when Memory
Region registration is required. This prevents iWARP devices from
using the bvec path, since iWARP requires MR registration for RDMA
READ operations. The force_mr debug parameter is also unusable with
bvec input.
Add rdma_rw_init_mr_wrs_bvec() to handle MR registration for bvec
arrays. The approach creates a synthetic scatterlist populated with
DMA addresses from the bvecs, then reuses the existing ib_map_mr_sg()
infrastructure. This avoids driver changes while keeping the
implementation small.
The synthetic scatterlist is stored in the rdma_rw_ctx for cleanup.
On destroy, the MRs are returned to the pool and the bvec DMA
mappings are released using the stored addresses.
