There is diagnostic value in being able to disambiguate between the
various reasons why an IB CM has rejected a connection attempt. In
particular, reason 8 "invalid service ID" can be used to identify an
incorrect SRP service_id root-path component, and reason 28 "consumer
reject" corresponds to a genuine SRP login rejection IU, which can be
passed up to the SRP layer.
For rejection reasons other than "consumer reject", we should not pass
through the private data, since it is most likely generated by the CM
without any protocol-specific knowledge.
With iSCSI, connection attempts are expensive; it may take many
seconds to determine that a connection will fail. SRP connection
attempts are much less expensive, so we may as well avoid the
"optimisation" of declaring a state of permanent failure after a
certain number of attempts. This allows a gPXE SRP initiator to
resume operations after an arbitrary amount of SRP target downtime.
SRP is the SCSI RDMA Protocol. It allows for a method of SAN booting
whereby the target is responsible for reading and writing data using
Remote DMA directly to the initiator's memory. The software initiator
merely sends and receives SCSI commands; it never has to touch the
actual data.
The minimal-surprise behaviour, when no explicit SRP initiator device
is specified, will probably be to use the most recently opened
Infiniband device. This matches our behaviour with using the most
recently opened net device for PXE, iSCSI, AoE, NBI, etc.
SRP over Infiniband uses a protocol whereby data is sent via a
combination of the CM private data fields and the RC queue pair
itself. This seems sufficiently generic that it's worth having
available as a separate protocol.
We will terminate our transaction as soon as we receive the first CM
REP, since that provides all the state that we need. However, the
peer may resend the REP if it didn't see our RTU, and if we don't
respond with another RTU we risk being disconnected. (This protocol
appears not to handle retries gracefully.)
Fix by adding a management agent that will listen for these duplicate
REPs and send back an RTU.
Previously the maximum packet length was computed using an erroneous
understanding of the role of the MIC field in TKIP-encrypted packets.
The field is actually considered to be part of the MSDU (encrypted and
fragmented data), not the MPDU (container for each encrypted
fragment). As such its size does not contribute to cryptographic
overhead outside the data field's size limitations. The net result is
that the previous maximum packet length value was 4 bytes too long;
fix it to the correct value of 2352.

The prior net80211 model of physical-layer behavior for drivers was
overly simplistic and limited the drivers that could be written. To
be more flexible, split the driver-provided list of supported rates by
band, and add a means for specifying a list of supported channels.
Allow drivers to specify a hardware channel value that will be tied to
uses of the channel.
Expose net80211_duration() to drivers, and make the rate it uses in
its computations configurable, so that it can be used in calculating
durations that must be set in hardware for ACK and CTS packets. Add
net80211_cts_duration() for the common case of calculating the
duration for a CTS packet.

A management interface is the component through which both local and
remote management agents are accessed.
This new implementation of a management interface allows for the user
to react to timed-out transactions, and also allows for cancellation
of in-progress transactions.
The IBA specification refers to management "interfaces" and "agents".
The interface is the component that connects to the queue pair and
sends and receives MADs; the agent is the component that constructs
the reply to the MAD.
Rename the IB_{QPN,QKEY,QPT} constants as a first step towards making
this separation in gPXE.
This is required for all modern 802.11 devices, and allows drivers
to be written for them with minimally more effort than is required
for a wired NIC.

Queue pairs are now assumed to be created in the INIT state, with a
call to ib_modify_qp() required to bring the queue pair to the RTS
state.
ib_modify_qp() no longer takes a modification list; callers should
modify the relevant queue pair parameters (e.g. qkey) directly and
then call ib_modify_qp() to synchronise the changes to the hardware.
The packet sequence number is now a property of the queue pair, rather
than of the device.
Each queue pair may have an associated address vector. For RC queue
pairs, this is the address vector that will be programmed in to the
hardware as the remote address. For UD queue pairs, it will be used
as the default address vector if none is supplied to ib_post_send().
Now that MAD handlers no longer return a status code, we can allow
them to return a pointer to a MAD structure if and only if they want
to send a response. This provides a more natural and flexible
approach than using a "response method" field within the handler's
descriptor.
MAD handlers have to set the status fields within the MAD itself
anyway, in order to provide a meaningful response MAD; the additional
gPXE return status code is just noise.
Note that we probably don't need to ever explicitly set the status to
IB_MGMT_STATUS_OK, since it should already have this value from the
request. (By not explicitly setting the status in this way, we can
safely have ib_sma_set_xxx() call ib_sma_get_xxx() in order to
generate the GetResponse MAD without worrying that ib_sma_get_xxx()
will clear any error status set by ib_sma_set_xxx().)
Most IB hardware seems not to allow allocation of the genuine QPNs 0
and 1, so allow for the externally-visible QPN (as constructed and
parsed by ib_packet, where used) to differ from the real
hardware-allocated QPN.
Generalise the subnet management agent into a general management agent
capable of sending and responding to MADs, including support for
retransmissions as necessary.
Currently, all Infiniband users must create a process for polling
their completion queues (or rely on a regular hook such as
netdev_poll() in ipoib.c).
Move instead to a model whereby the Infiniband core maintains a single
process calling ib_poll_eq(), and polling the event queue triggers
polls of the applicable completion queues. (At present, the
Infiniband core simply polls all of the device's completion queues.)
Polling a completion queue will now implicitly refill all attached
receive work queues; this is analogous to the way that netdev_poll()
implicitly refills the RX ring.
Infiniband users no longer need to create a process just to poll their
completion queues and refill their receive rings.
IPoIB and the SMA have separate constants for the packet size to be
used to I/O buffer allocations. Merge these into the single
IB_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE constant.
(Various other points in the Infiniband stack have hard-coded
assumptions of a 2048-byte payload; we don't currently support
variable MTUs.)
IPoIB has a link-layer broadcast address that varies according to the
partition key. We currently go through several contortions to pretend
that the link-layer address is a fixed constant; by making the
broadcast address a property of the network device rather than the
link-layer protocol it will be possible to simplify IPoIB's broadcast
handling.
Move the icky call to step() from aoe.c to ata.c; this takes it at
least one step further away from where it really doesn't belong.
Unfortunately, AoE has the ugly aoe_discover() mechanism which means
that we still have a step() loop in aoe.c for now; this needs to be
replaced at some future point.
The PXE debugging messages have remained pretty much unaltered since
Etherboot 5.4, and are now difficult to read in comparison to most of
the rest of gPXE.
Bring the pxe_undi debug messages up to normal gPXE standards.
Expand the NETDEV_LINK_UP bit into a link_rc status code field,
allowing specific reasons for link failure to be reported via
"ifstat".
