[PATCH 2/3] RDMA/hfi1, rdmavt: open-code rvt_set_ibdev_name()

[PATCH 2/3] RDMA/hfi1, rdmavt: open-code rvt_set_ibdev_name()

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

clang warns about a function missing a printf attribute:

include/rdma/rdma_vt.h:457:47: error: diagnostic behavior may be improved by adding the 'format(printf, 2, 3)' attribute to the declaration of 'rvt_set_ibdev_name' [-Werror,-Wmissing-format-attribute]
  447 | static inline void rvt_set_ibdev_name(struct rvt_dev_info *rdi,
      | __attribute__((format(printf, 2, 3)))
  448 |                                       const char *fmt, const char *name,
  449 |                                       const int unit)

The helper was originally added as an abstraction for the hfi1 and
qib drivers needing the same thing, but now qib is gone, and hfi1
is the only remaining user of rdma_vt.

Avoid the warning and allow the compiler to check the format string by
open-coding the helper and directly assigning the device name.

Fixes: 5084c8ff21f2 ("IB/{rdmavt, hfi1, qib}: Self determine driver name")

I messed this up during a rebase, that should have been 

       strscpy(ibdev->name, dev_name(&ibdev->dev), IB_DEVICE_NAME_MAX);

(without the extra &). I'll wait for comments before resending.

The hfi1 driver is scheduled for removal. Dennis has already posted the
hfi2 driver, which serves as its replacement.

Ok, that does sound like a sensible decision, and I'll just drop
patches 1 and 3 then, which are just cleanups.

The cover letter at [1] suggests that the two drivers will still
coexist for a bit though, so I think we'd still want patch 2/3
in order to get a clean 'allmodconfig' build when the 
-Wmissing-format-attribute is enabled by defaultt. I have a couple
of patches in flight.

I took a quick look at the hfi2 driver, and noticed a few things
that that may be worth addressing before it gets merged, mostly
stuff copied from hfi1:

- A few global functions with questionable namespacing:
  user_event_ack, ctxt_reset, iowait_init, register_pinning_interface,
  sc_{alloc,free,enable,disable}, pio_copy, acquire_hw_mutex,
  load_firmware, cap_mask.
  It would make sense to prefix all global identifiers with 'hfi2_',
  both out of principle, and to allow building hfi1 and hfi2 into
  an allyesconfig kernel without link failures.

- The use of INFINIBAND_RDMAVT seems unnecessary: right now
  this is only used by hfi1, now shared with hfi2 but later to
  be exclusive to the latter. Since it is unlikely to ever
  be used by another driver again, this may be a good time
  to drop the abstraction again and integrate it all into
  hfi2, with the old version getting dropped along with hfi1.

- The pio_copy() function is particularly slow since it uses
  the full-barrier version of writeq() in a tight loop,
  this should probably use __iowrite64_copy() etc to make it
  work better on arm64 and other architectures

- The use of bitfields in drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi2/cport.h
  makes the structures nonportable especially for big-endian
  targets, if those describe device interfaces. Similarly
  the use of __packed attributes in the same file seems
  arbitrary and inconsistent, to the point where it
  is likely to cause more harm than it can help. E.g.
  in

+struct ib_cc_table_entry_shadow {
+	u16 entry; /* shift:2, multiplier:14 */
+};
+
>
+struct ib_cc_table_attr_shadow {
+	u16 ccti_limit; /* max CCTI for cc table */
+	struct ib_cc_table_entry_shadow ccti_entries[IB_CCT_ENTRIES];
+} __packed;

  the outer structure is unaligned while the inner one requires
  alignment.

Sure, builds need to be fixed.

The best approach is to drop rdmavt as well, since hfi2 is expected to
align with the other drivers in drivers/infiniband/hw.

Dennis, is this feasible?

Feasible yes. I'd like to get hfi2 crossed off the list and in the tree 
first though. Then come back and do that. I'd like to do more than just 
plop rdmavt inside hfi2 and call it a day. There is a lot of code 
cleanup/simplification that we can do.

Will address that stuff.

Replied about RDMAVT stuff separately. Perhaps when we target removal of 
hfi1 that would be the time to get RDMAVT re-incorporated into the main 
hfi (hfi2) driver.

Will certainly look into this. Thanks for pointing it out.

Actually have a patch that addresses some of that. It's coming. We had 
previously only built on x86_64 but have plans to change that.

Does rdmavt have its own user-space ABI? If there is anything that
you'd want to change, this might be the one chance to do it, otherwise
I see nothing wrong with integrating it only after hfi1 is gone.

rdmavt has no user‑space exposure. It is a leftover from an old and never
fully realized idea to provide a shim and common layer for RDMA drivers
that require software handling in their data path.
