Subject[PATCH 0/2] Convert IB/mad to use an IDR for agent IDs
Date
From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>

Compared to the RFC I sent yesterday, this version retains the per-port
spinlock for use when looking up the MAD agent by vendor/class/etc.
Now we should only see a performance improvement relative to the current
code. We should see that improvement two different ways: interrupts
remain enabled and no spinlock is taken when doing a lookup in the IDR,
and we don't walk a linked list looking for the right agent; we just
walk the (low height) tree and find the correct agent.

There are more improvements that could be made, but this fixes the mlx4
bug that Hans reported.

IB/mad: Agent registration is process context only
IB/mad: Use IDR for agent IDs
