Hi Dave and Doug
This series include mlx5_core updates for both net-next and rdma
trees for 4.7 kernel cycle. This is the only shared code planned
for 4.7 between rdma and net trees. Hopefully, this will prevent
future conflicts when merging between ib-next and net-next once
4.7 cycle is over and merge window is opened.
Both Mellanox rdma and net submissions will proceed once this series
is applied into both trees.
Future shared code will be sent to both maintainers as pull requests
from Mellanox's kernel.org tree.
We have included all the maintainers of respective drivers.
Kindly review the change and let us know in case of any review comments.

Or, All these micro-optimizations on this shared file can potentially lead to undesired merge conflicts. Subsystem maintainers and Linus don't need to deal with these conflicts at all.

Subsystem maintainers and Linus don't need to > deal with these conflicts at all. Leon, Conflicts happens @ all times, life. We (MLNX) didn't do a good job to minimize them as much as possible on the 4.5 cycle (understatement) and did vast improvement in the 4.6 cycle (one or two conflicts AFAIK and communicated to Linus). It's correct that Linus got really angry on these two conflicts but I have communicated to him the fact that we did that improvement and we're talking on two commits for a fairly large volume of patches, the response was, if you do things right, we will happily keep working with you, people, go look. I understand your desire to get it down to zero, but it's not gonna work, pick another target. For example, the networking community has a fairly large rc activity (I would say 10-20x vs rdma), so when Dave does his "merge-rebases" for net-next over net and linus tree (4-5 times in a release), he has to this way or another solve conflicts, yes! ditto for Linus during merge windows and to some extent in rc times too. > It won't help to anyone to split this commit to more than one patch. The commit change-log should make it clear what this is about, and it doesn't. If you believe in something, state that clear, be precise. As Saeed admitted the shared code in the commit spans maybe 2% of it. The 1st commit deals with a field which is not used in the driver, this is a cleanup that you can do in rc (net) patch (remove the field all together) and overall, w.o seeing the down-stream patches that depend on the newly introduced fields, how do you know there aren't such (unused) bits in the 2nd commit?

No, I don't know in advance, but the truth is that it doesn't bother anyone, because we are exposing our internal HW to kernel clients and doing it with minimal impact on the maintainers.

I see no harm updating our HW spec once in a kernel cycle revealing new cool HW bits and interfaces for anyone to use mlx5e/mlx5_core/mlx5_ib .. you name it.

See my response to Leon. It happened to me many times in code review that people gave me patches that open X fields in the IFC file and their code used Y << X fields. I don't want the IFC file to have even one unused field, and I think the correct way to do that is have both the IFC file and the driver changes in the same series. I understand the trend to have zero-conflicts, lets try that. Did you make sure all exposed IFC fields are used? Or. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 13+ messages in thread

We must not expose unused fields since they might change/move or be eliminated as part of the driver implementation and this creates extra noise and burden for other developers and maintainers. The 1st patch should change to be elimination of these two fields (cqe_zip_xxx and early VF enable) b/c they are not used in the code.
