In current kernels, the mlx4 driver running on a VM does not differentiate between max resource numbers for the HCA and max quotas -- it simply takes the quota values passed to it as max-resource values. However, the driver actually requires the VFs to be aware of the actual number of resources that the HCA was initialized with, for QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs. For QPs, CQs and SRQs, the reason is that in completion handling the driver must know which of the 24 bits are the actual resource number, and which are "padding" bits. For MPTs, also, the driver assumes knowledge of the number of MPTs in the system. The previous commit fixes the quota logic on the VM for the quota values passed to it by QUERY_FUNC_CAPS. For QPs, CQs, SRQs, and MPTs, it takes the max resource numbers from QUERY_HCA (and not QUERY_FUNC_CAPS). The quotas passed in QUERY_FUNC_CAPS are used to report max resource number values in the response to ib_query_device. However, the Hypervisor driver must consider that VMs may be running previous kernels, and compatibility must be preserved. To resolve the incompatibility with previous kernels running on VMs, we deprecated the quota fields in mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP. In the deprecated fields, we pass the max-resource values from INIT_HCA The quota fields are moved to a new location, and the current kernel driver takes the proper values from that location. There is also a new flag in dword 0, bit 28 of the mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP mailbox; if this flag is set, the (VM) driver takes the quota values from the new location. VMs running previous kernels will work properly, except that the max resource numbers reported in ib_query_device for these resources will be too high. The Hypervisor driver will, however, enforce the quotas for these VMs. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
