The HIP09 introduces the DCA(Dynamic Context Attachment) feature which supports many RC QPs to share the WQE buffer in a memory pool. If a QP enables DCA feature, the WQE's buffer will not be allocated when creating but when the users start to post WRs. This will reduce the memory consumption when there are too many QPs are inactive.
For more detailed information, please refer to the man pages provided by the last patch of this series.
This series is associated with the kernel one "RDMA/hns: Add support for Dynamic Context Attachment", you can review it at: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rdma/cover/1611394994-50363-1-git...
Changes since v1: - Add direct verbs to set the parameters about size that used to configuring DCA. - Add man pages to explain what is DCA, how does it works and how to use it. - Link: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-rdma/cover/1612667574-56673-1-git...
