[ 02/13] IB/mlx4: pass SMP vendor-specific attribute MADs to firmware

[Willy Tarreau]

2.6.27-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit a6f7feae6d19e84253918d88b04153af09d3a243 upstream.

In the current code, vendor-specific MADs (e.g with the FDR-10
attribute) are silently dropped by the driver, resulting in timeouts
at the sending side and inability to query/configure the relevant
feature.  However, the ConnectX firmware is able to handle such MADs.
For unsupported attributes, the firmware returns a GET_RESPONSE MAD
containing an error status.

For example, for a FDR-10 node with LID 11:

    # ibstat mlx4_0 1

    CA: 'mlx4_0'
    Port 1:
    State: Active
    Physical state: LinkUp
    Rate: 40 (FDR10)
    Base lid: 11
    LMC: 0
    SM lid: 24
    Capability mask: 0x02514868
    Port GUID: 0x0002c903002e65d1
    Link layer: InfiniBand

Extended Port Query (EPI) vendor mad timeouts before the patch:

    # smpquery MEPI 11 -d

    ibwarn: [4196] smp_query_via: attr 0xff90 mod 0x0 route Lid 11
    ibwarn: [4196] _do_madrpc: retry 1 (timeout 1000 ms)
    ibwarn: [4196] _do_madrpc: retry 2 (timeout 1000 ms)
    ibwarn: [4196] _do_madrpc: timeout after 3 retries, 3000 ms
    ibwarn: [4196] mad_rpc: _do_madrpc failed; dport (Lid 11)
    smpquery: iberror: [pid 4196] main: failed: operation EPI: ext port info query failed

EPI query works OK with the patch:

    # smpquery MEPI 11 -d

    ibwarn: [6548] smp_query_via: attr 0xff90 mod 0x0 route Lid 11
    ibwarn: [6548] mad_rpc: data offs 64 sz 64
    mad data

    0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
