Subject: [PATCH rdma-next v2 00/13] Verbs flow counters support

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@...lanox.com>

Changelog
v1->v2:
 * Removed conversion from struct mlx5_fc* to void*
 * Fixed one place with double space in it
 * Balanced release of hardware handler in case of counters allocation failure
 * Added Tested-by
 * Minimize time spent holding mutex lock
 * Fixed deadlock caused by nested lock in error path
 * Protect from handler pointer derefence in the error paths

Not changed: mlx5-abi.h

v0->v1:
 * Decouple from DevX submission
 * Use uverbs_attr_get_obj at counters read method
 * Added define for max read buffer size (MAX_COUNTERS_BUFF_SIZE)
 * Removed the struct mlx5_ib_flow_counter basic_flow_cnts and
   the related structs used, used define instead
 * Took Matan's patch from DevX
 * uverbs_free_counters removed void* casting
 * Added check to bound ncounters value (added define
 * Changed user supplied data buffer structure to be array of
   struct <desc,index> pair (applied this change to user space also)

Not changed:
 * UAPI files
 * Addition of uhw to flow

Thanks

>From Raed:

This series comes to allow user space applications to monitor real time
traffic activity and events of the verbs objects it manages, e.g.:
ibv_qp, ibv_wq, ibv_flow.

This API enables generic counters creation and define mapping
to association with a verbs object, current mlx5 driver using
this API for flow counters.

With this API, an application can monitor the entire life cycle of
object activity, defined here as a static counters attachment.
This API also allows dynamic counters monitoring of measurement points
for a partial period in the verbs object life cycle.

In addition it presents the implementation of the generic counters interface.

This will be achieved by extending flow creation by adding a new flow count
specification type which allows the user to associate a previously created
flow counters using the generic verbs counters interface to the created flow,
once associated the user could read statistics by using the read function of
the generic counters interface.

The API includes:
1. create and destroyed API of a new counters objects
2. read the counters values from HW

Note:
Attaching API to allow application to define the measurement points per objects
is a user space only API and this data is passed to kernel when the counted
object (e.g. flow) is created with the counters object.

Thanks
