No, it won't need 2 transitions - just an extra function call, so it won't hurt performance - it would improve performance. ib_uverbs_req_notify_cq would call ib_uverbs_req_notify_cq() { ib_set_cq_udata(cq, udata) ib_req_notify_cq(cq, cmd.solicited_only ? IB_CQ_SOLICITED : IB_CQ_NEXT_COMP); }ib_set_cq_udata() would transition into the kernel to pass in the consumer's index. In addition, ib_req_notify_cq would also transition into the kernel since its not a bypass function for chelsio.
We misunderstand each other. ib_uverbs_req_notify_cq is in drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_cmd.c - all this code runs inside the IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_REQ_NOTIFY_CQ command, so there is a single user to kernel transition. -- MST
