Overview -=============================================================================== -RDS socket API. It provides reliable, in-order datagram delivery between -sockets over a variety of transports. -For details see RDS_README.txt and man 7 rds. - -=============================================================================== -2. supported platforms -=============================================================================== - -Same as overall OFED release. - -=============================================================================== -3. Installation & Configuration -=============================================================================== -To install RDS select rds in OFED's manual installation or put 'rds=y' in the -ofed.conf for unattended installation. - -To load RDS module upon boot edit file '/etc/infiniband/openib.conf' as -follows: - -# Load RDS module -RDS_LOAD=yes - -=============================================================================== -4. New Features -=============================================================================== - -GET_MR_FOR_DEST sockopt added. This allows a MR to be associated with -a remote host. GET_MR sockopt deprecated. - -Transports now modularized: rds_rdma.ko (IB and iWARP) and -rds_tcp.ko. This enables RDS use with TCP, without the IB stack -loaded. - -Improved receive processing to lower amount of time spent with interrupts -disabled. - -=============================================================================== -5. Bug fixes and Enhancements since OFED 1.4 -=============================================================================== - -* Set retry_count to 2 and make modifiable via modparam -* Many locking fixes -* Rebased to mainline kernel 2.6.30 resulted in rds trace framework - being removed. - -=============================================================================== -6. Bug fixes and Enhancements since OFED 1.3.1 -=============================================================================== -- RDMA completion notifications are signalled when the IB stack gives us the - completion event for the accompanying RDS message. This is a change from the - 1.3.x behavior, which signalled completion notifications when the RDS message - was ACKed. -- Fixed bugs associated with congestion monitoring. -- FMR pool size increased from 2K to 4K -- Added support for RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE event. -- RDS should now work on Qlogic HCAs. - -=============================================================================== -7. Bug fixes and Enhancements since OFED 1.3 -=============================================================================== -- Fix a bug in RDMA signaling -- Add 3 more stats counters -- Fix a kernel crash that can occur when RDS/IB connection drops -- Fixes for RDMA API - -=============================================================================== -8. Bug fixes and Enhancements since OFED 1.2 -=============================================================================== - -1) Wire protocol for RDS v3 and RDS v2 are not compatible. - -2) RDS over TCP is disabled in OFED 1.3. We will re-enable in future release. - -3) Congestion monitoring support gives the application more fine-grained - control. - -With explicit monitoring, the application polls for POLLIN as before, and -additionally uses the RDS_CONG_MONITOR socket option to install a 64bit mask -value in the socket, where each bit corresponds to a group of ports. -When a congestion update arrives, RDS checks the set of ports that became -uncongested against the bit mask installed in the socket. If they overlap, a -control messages is enqueued on the socket, and the application is woken up. -When application calls recvmsg (2), it will be given the control message -containing the bitmap on the socket. - -=============================================================================== -9. Known Issues -=============================================================================== -1. RDMAs over 1 MiB not supported.
