Hi Roland, all These patches add Flow Steering support to the kernel IB core, to uverbs and to the mlx4 IB (verbs) driver along with one patch to uverbs which adds some code to support extensions.
IB/core: Add receive Flow Steering support IB/core: Infra-structure to support verbs extensions through uverbs IB/core: Export ib_create/destroy_flow through uverbs IB/mlx4: Add receive Flow Steering support The main patch which introduces the Flow-Steering API is "IB/core: Add receive Flow Steering support", see its change log. Looking on the "Network Adapter Flow Steering" slides from Tzahi Oved which he presented on the annual OFA 2012 meeting could be helpful https://www.openfabrics.org/resources/document-downloads/presentations/doc_download/518-network-adapter-flow-steering.html V0 has been acknowledged by Steve and Christoph, and was also got positive feedback from Sean and Jason over f2f talks we had during the Linux Foundation EU summit on last month. V1 changes: - dropped the five pre-patches which were accepted into 3.10 - rebased the patches against Roland's for-next / 3.10-rc4 - in patch #3, ib_uverbs_destroy_flow was returning too quickly when the driver returned failure for ib_destroy_flow, need to free some uverbs resources 1st. - in patch #4, check index before accessing the array at mlx4_ib_create/destroy_flow Or.
