Methods, apparatus and systems for facilitating RDMA operations with reduced doorbell rings
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and systems for reducing usage of Doorbell Rings in connection with RDMA operations. A portion of system memory is employed as a Memory-Mapped Input/Output (MMIO) address space configured to be accessed via a hardware networking device. A Send Queue (SQ) is stored in MMIO and is used to facilitate processing of Work Requests (WRs) that are written to SQ entries by software and read from the SQ via the hardware networking device. The software and logic in the hardware networking device employ pointers identifying locations in the SQ corresponding to a next write WR entry slot and last read WR entry slot that are implemented to enable WRs to be written to and read from the SQ during ongoing operations under which the SQ is not emptied such that doorbell rings to notify the hardware networking device that new WRs have been written to the SQ are not required.
