Hi,

here is a patch we use to integrate the Quadrics NICs into the Linux kernel.
The patch adds hooks to the Linux VM subsystem so that registered 'IOPROC'
devices can be informed of page table changes.
This allows the Quadrics NICs to perform user RDMAs safely, without requiring
page pinning. Looking through some of the recent IB and Ammasso discussions,
it may also prove useful to those NICs too.

This patch has been deployed in many large (1000+ CPUs) production Linux
clusters at high profile HPC sites such as LLNL and PNL. It has also been
incorporated in Linux kernel releases from HP, SGI and Bull.

I have discussed this patch with Andrew Morton and Andrea Arcangeli and they
believe now is the time to encourage further comments on whether it's
suitable to be incorporated into the mainline kernel.

Cheers,

David Addison
Quadrics Ltd

+Linux IOPROC patch overview
+===========================
+
+The network interface for an HPC network differs significantly from
+network interfaces for traditional IP networks. HPC networks tend to
+be used directly from user processes and perform large RDMA transfers
+between the process address spaces. They also have a requirement
+for low latency communication, and typically achieve this by OS bypass
+techniques.  This then requires a different model to traditional
+interconnects, in that a process may need to expose a large amount of
+it's address space to the network RDMA.
+
+Locking down of memory has been a common mechanism for performing
+this, together with a pin-down cache implemented in user
+libraries. The disadvantage of this method is that large portions of
+the physical memory can be locked down for a single process, even if
+it's working set changes over the different phases of it's
+execution. This leads to inefficient memory utilisation - akin to the
+disadvantage of swapping compared to paging.
+
+This model also has problems where memory is being dynamically
+allocated and freed, since the pin down cache is unaware that memory
+may have been released by a call to munmap() and so it will still be
+locking down the now unused pages.
+
+Some modern HPC network interfaces implement their own MMU and are
+able to handle a translation fault during a network access. The
+Quadrics (http://www.quadrics.com) devices (Elan3 and Elan4) have done
+this for some time, and the Infiniband standard also allows for the
+case where memory has been deregistered when an RDMA occurs.
+These NICs are able to operate in an environment where paging occurs
+and do not require memory to be locked down. The advantage of this is
+that the user process can expose large portions of its address space
+without having to worry about physical memory constraints.
+
+However should the operating system decide to swap a page to disk,
+then the NIC must be made aware that it should no longer read/write
+from this memory, but should generate a translation fault instead.
+
+The ioproc patch has been developed to provide a mechanism whereby the
+device driver for a NIC can be made aware of when a user process's
+address translations change, either by paging or by explicitly mapping
+or unmapping of memory.
+
+The patch involves inserting callbacks where translations are being
+invalidated to notify the NIC that the memory behind those
+translations is no longer visible to the application (and so should
+not be visible to the NIC). This callback is then responsible for
+ensuring that the NIC will not access the physical memory that was
+being mapped.
+
+An ioproc invalidate callback in the kswapd code could be utilised to
+prevent memory from being paged out if the NIC is unable to support
+RDMA page faulting. This has not yet been implemented in this patch.
+
+For NICs which support RDMA page faulting, there is no requirement
+for a user level pin down cache, since they are able to page-in their
+translations on the first communication using a buffer. However this
+is likely to be inefficient, resulting in slow first use of the
+buffer. If the communication buffers were continually allocated and
+freed using mmap() based malloc() calls then this would lead to all
+communications being slower than desirable.
+
+To optimise these warm-up cases the ioproc patch adds calls to
+ioproc_update wherever the kernel is creating translations for a user
+process. These then allow the device driver to preload translations
+so that they are already present for the first network communication
+from a buffer.
+
+Linux 2.6 IOPROC implementation details
+=======================================
+
+The Linux IOPROC patch adds hooks to the Linux VM code whenever page
+table entries are being created and/or invalidated. IOPROC device
+drivers can register their interest in being informed of such changes
+by registering an ioproc_ops structure which is defined as follows;
+
+extern int ioproc_register_ops(struct mm_struct *mm, struct ioproc_ops *ip);
+extern int ioproc_unregister_ops(struct mm_struct *mm, struct ioproc_ops *ip);
+
+typedef struct ioproc_ops {
+	struct ioproc_ops *next;
+	void *arg;
+
+	void (*release)(void *arg, struct mm_struct *mm);
+	void (*sync_range)(void *arg, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long start, unsigned long end);
+	void (*invalidate_range)(void *arg, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long start, unsigned long end);
+	void (*update_range)(void *arg, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long start, unsigned long end);
+
+	void (*change_protection)(void *arg, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long start, unsigned long end, pgprot_t newprot);
+
+	void (*sync_page)(void *arg, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address);
+	void (*invalidate_page)(void *arg, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address);
+	void (*update_page)(void *arg, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address);
+
+} ioproc_ops_t;
+
+ioproc_register_ops
+===================
+This function should be called by the IOPROC device driver to register
+its interest in PTE changes for the process associated with the passed
+in mm_struct.
+
+The ioproc registration is not inherited across fork() and should be
+called once for each process that IOPROC is interested in.
+
+This function must be called whilst holding the mm->page_table_lock.
+
+ioproc_unregister_ops
+=====================
+This function should be called by the IOPROC device driver when it no
+longer requires informing of PTE changes in the process associated
+with the supplied mm_struct.
+
+This function is not normally needed to be called as the ioproc_ops
+struct is unlinked from the associated mm_struct during the
+ioproc_release() call.
+
+This function must be called whilst holding the mm->page_table_lock.
+
+ioproc_ops struct
+=================
+A linked list ioproc_ops structures is hung off the user process
+mm_struct (linux/sched.h). At each hook point in the patched kernel
+the ioproc patch will call the associated ioproc_ops callback function
+pointer in turn for each registered structure.
+
+The intention of the callbacks is to allow the IOPROC device driver to
+inspect the new or modified PTE entry via the Linux kernel
+(e.g. find_pte_map()). These callbacks should not modify the Linux
+kernel VM state or PTE entries.
+
+The ioproc_ops callback function pointers are defined as follows;
+
+ioproc_release
+==============
+The release hook is called when a program exits and all its vma areas
+are torn down and unmapped. i.e. during exit_mmap(). Before each
+release hook is called the ioproc_ops structure is unlinked from the
+mm_struct.
+
+No locks are required as the process has the only reference to the mm
+at this point.
+
+ioproc_sync_[range|page]
+========================
+The sync hooks are called when a memory map is synchronised with its
+disk image i.e. when the msync() syscall is invoked. Any future read
+or write by the IOPROC device to the associated pages should cause the
+page to be marked as referenced or modified.
+
+Called holding the mm->page_table_lock
+
+ioproc_invalidate_[range|page]
+==============================
+The invalidate hooks are called whenever a valid PTE is unloaded
+e.g. when a page is unmapped by the user or paged out by the
+kernel. After this call the IOPROC must not access the physical memory
+again unless a new translation is loaded.
+
+Called holding the mm->page_table_lock
+
+ioproc_update_[range|page]
+==========================
+The update hooks are called whenever a valid PTE is loaded
+e.g. mmaping memory, moving the brk up, when breaking COW or faulting
+in an anonymous page of memory. These give the IOPROC device the
+opportunity to load translations speculatively, which can improve
+performance by avoiding device translation faults.
+
+Called holding the mm->page_table_lock
+
+ioproc_change_protection
+========================
+This hook is called when the protection on a region of memory is
+changed i.e. when the mprotect() syscall is invoked.
+
+The IOPROC must not be able to write to a read-only page, so if the
+permissions are downgraded then it must honour them. If they are
+upgraded it can treat this in the same way as the
+ioproc_update_[range|page]() calls
+
+Called holding the mm->page_table_lock
+
