Code is refactored to prepare separate functions for RoCE which can do more complex operations related to reference counting, while still maintainining code readability. This includes (a) Simplification to not perform netdevice checks and modifications for IB link layer. (b) Do not add RoCE GID entry which has NULL netdevice; instead return an error. (c) If GID addition fails at provider level add_gid(), do not add the entry in the cache and keep the entry marked as INVALID. (d) Simplify and reuse the ib_cache_gid_add()/del() routines so that they can be used even for modifying default GIDs. This avoid some code duplication in modifying default GIDs. (e) find_gid() routine refers to the data entry flags to qualify a GID as valid or invalid GID rather than depending on attributes and zeroness of the GID content. (f) gid_table_reserve_default() sets the GID default attribute at beginning while setting up the GID table. There is no need to use default_gid flag in low level functions such as write_gid(), add_gid(), del_gid(), as they never need to update the DEFAULT property of the GID entry while during GID table update. As as result of this refactor, reserved GID 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 is no longer searchable as described below. A unicast GID entry of 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 is Reserved GID as per the IB spec version 1.3 section 4.1.1, point (6) whose snippet is below. "The unicast GID address 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 is reserved - referred to as the Reserved GID. It shall never be assigned to any endport. It shall not be used as a destination address or in a global routing header (GRH)." GID table cache now only stores valid GID entries. Before this patch, Reserved GID 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0 was searchable in the GID table using ib_find_cached_gid_by_port() and other similar find routines. Zero GID is no longer searchable as it shall not to be present in GRH or path recored entry as described in IB spec version 1.3 section 4.1.1, point (6), section 12.7.10 and section 12.7.20. ib_cache_update() is simplified to check link layer once, use unified locking scheme for all link layers, removed temporary gid table allocation/free logic. Additionally, (a) Expand ib_gid_attr to store port and index so that GID query routines can get port and index information from the attribute structure. (b) Expand ib_gid_attr to store device as well so that in future code when GID reference counting is done, device is used to reach back to the GID table entry.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
