Introduce an option to revoke DMABUF umem.
This option will retain the umem allocation while revoking its DMA
mapping. Furthermore, any subsequent attempts to map the pages should
fail once the umem has been revoked.
This functionality will be utilized in the upcoming patches in the
series, where we aim to delay umem deallocation until the mkey
deregistration. However, we must unmap its pages immediately.

The VA addresses are coming from rdma-core in this diagram can be
arbitrary, but for 64k pages, the VA may be offset by some number of HCA
4k pages and followed by some number of HCA 4k pages.
The current iterator doesn't account for either the preceding 4k pages or
the following 4k pages.
Fix the issue by extending the ib_block_iter to contain the number of DMA
pages like comment [1] says and by using __sg_advance to start the
iterator at the first live HCA page.
The changes are contained in a parallel set of iterator start and next
functions that are umem aware and specific to umem since there is one user
of the rdma_for_each_block() without umem.
These two fixes prevents the extra pages before and after the user MR
data.
Fix the preceding pages by using the __sq_advance field to start at the
first 4k page containing MR data.
Fix the following pages by saving the number of pgsz blocks in the
iterator state and downcounting on each next.
This fix allows for the elimination of the small page crutch noted in the
Fixes.

orig_nents should represent the number of entries with pages,
but __sg_alloc_table_from_pages sets orig_nents as the number of
total entries in the table. This is wrong when the API is used for
dynamic allocation where not all the table entries are mapped with
pages. It wasn't observed until now, since RDMA umem who uses this
API in the dynamic form doesn't use orig_nents implicit or explicit
by the scatterlist APIs.
Fix it by changing the append API to track the SG append table
state and have an API to free the append table according to the
total number of entries in the table.
Now all APIs set orig_nents as number of enries with pages.

Dma-buf is a standard cross-driver buffer sharing mechanism that can be
used to support peer-to-peer access from RDMA devices.
Device memory exported via dma-buf is associated with a file descriptor.
This is passed to the user space as a property associated with the buffer
allocation. When the buffer is registered as a memory region, the file
descriptor is passed to the RDMA driver along with other parameters.
Implement the common code for importing dma-buf object and mapping dma-buf

SRQ uses a quantized and scaled page_offset, which is another variation of

This new routine replaces the limited mlx5_ib_cont_pages() and
mlx5_ib_get_buf_offset() pairing which would reject valid configurations
rather than adjust the page_size to make it work.
In turn this is much more aggressive about choosing large page sizes for

ib_umem_num_pages() should only be used by things working with the SGL in
CPU pages directly.
Drivers building DMA lists should use the new ib_num_dma_blocks() which
returns the number of blocks rdma_umem_for_each_block() will return.
To make this general for DMA drivers requires a different implementation.
Computing DMA block count based on umem->address only works if the
requested page size is < PAGE_SIZE and/or the IOVA == umem->address.
Instead the number of DMA pages should be computed in the IOVA address
space, not umem->address. Thus the IOVA has to be stored inside the umem
so it can be used for these calculations.
For now set it to umem->address by default and fix it up if
ib_umem_find_best_pgsz() was called. This allows drivers to be converted
to ib_umem_num_dma_blocks() safely.

In debugging an application that receives -ENOMEM from ib_reg_mr(), I
found that ib_umem_get() can fail because the pinned_vm count has
wrapped causing it to always be larger than the lock limit even with
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK set to RLIM_INFINITY.
The wrapping of pinned_vm occurs because the process that calls
ib_reg_mr() will have its mm->pinned_vm count incremented. Later a
different process with a different mm_struct than the one that
allocated the ib_umem struct ends up releasing it which results in
decrementing the new processes mm->pinned_vm count past zero and
wrapping.
I'm not entirely sure what circumstances cause a different process to
release the ib_umem than the one that allocated it but the kernel
stack trace of the freeing process from my situation looks like the
following:

mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.
This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectly
Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,

When memory pinned with ib_umem_get() is released, ib_umem_release()
needs to subtract the amount of memory being unpinned from
mm->locked_vm. However, ib_umem_release() may be called with
mm->mmap_sem already held for writing if the memory is being released
as part of an munmap() call, so it is sometimes necessary to defer
this accounting into a workqueue.
However, the work struct used to defer this accounting is dynamically
allocated before it is queued, so there is the possibility of failing
that allocation. If the allocation fails, then ib_umem_release has no
choice except to bail out and leave the process with a permanently
elevated locked_vm.
Fix this by allocating the structure to defer accounting as part of
the original struct ib_umem, so there's no possibility of failing a
later allocation if creating the struct ib_umem and pinning memory
succeeds.

Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.
Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.
This has a number of advantages:
- It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
the details of specific devices dictate.
- Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For
example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
- Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve
some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
- Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For
example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.
