XRC ("eXtended reliable connected") is an IB transport that provides
better scalability by allowing senders to specify which shared receive
queue (SRQ) should be used to receive a message, which essentially
allows one transport context (QP connection) to serve multiple
destinations (as long as they share an adapter, of course).
A few new concepts are introduced to support this. This patch adds:
- A new device capability flag, IB_DEVICE_XRC, which low-level
drivers set to indicate that a device supports XRC.
- A new object type, XRC domains (struct ib_xrcd), and new verbs
ib_alloc_xrcd()/ib_dealloc_xrcd(). XRCDs are used to limit which
XRC SRQs an incoming message can target.
This patch is derived from work by Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il>.
