PATCH 1/1 IB/ehca: Construct MAD redirect replies from request MAD

The old code used a lot of hardcoded values, which might not be valid in all environments (especially routed fabrics or partitioned subnets). Copy as much information as possible from the incoming request to prevent that.

Hal, Jason -- here's the change I promised. Looks okay to you? Roland -- if Hal and Jason don't object, please queue this up for the next kernel. Thanks!

Regards,
Joachim

Thanks for doing this. It looks sane to me. The only issue I recall that appears to be remaining is a better setting of ClassPortInfo:RespTimeValue rather than hardcoding. Perhaps using the value from PortInfo is the way to go (ideally it would be that value from the port to which the the requester is being redirected to but that might not be so easy to get from this port (I guess that could be SA Get PortInfoRecord for that port but that is a larger change and it likely to be same as local port issuing the redirect response).

I don't think that effort will be necessary or even legal. The requestor will react to the redirection with another Get(ClassPortInfo) to the redirection target, which will reply with its own RespTimeValue, so our driver should speak for itself. Since we don't know when our MAD processing and sending of the response is going to be scheduled (we're not running on real-time constraints here), we play it safe and return 18, which amounts to roughly a second.

Make sense?

I don't think it should be hard coded. IMO it would be better to default to 18 and somehow able to be adjusted (via a (dynamic) module parameter ?).

and somehow able to be adjusted (via a (dynamic) module parameter ?).

I don't see how making this a parameter would benefit any end user, while on the other hand it clutters up our parameter list.

Changing RespTimeValue won't influence the IB performance or user-visible behavior of our driver in any way, and in fact, all RespTimeValue says is "Please use a timeout of one second for all future MADs you send me", only there won't be any more MADs in the future because we just redirected the client to someone else. So, the RespTimeValue field is a don't care in the redirection scenario. Setting it to an arbitrary, but legal value isn't much more than a concession towards any broken clients that may be out there.

Given that you seem to like the rest of the code and Jason hasn't spoken up yet, I think we can have Roland merge this patch. Roland, what do you think?

I don't see any problem with the idea and this does sound like a step forward, so I am planning on merging this (pending review).
