Soft RoCE (RXE) - The software RoCE driver
ib_rxe implements the RDMA transport and registers to the RDMA core
device as a kernel verbs provider. It also implements the packet IO
layer. On the other hand ib_rxe registers to the Linux netdev stack
as a udp encapsulating protocol, in that case RDMA, for sending and
receiving packets over any Ethernet device. This yields a RDMA
transport over the UDP/Ethernet network layer forming a RoCEv2
compatible device.
The configuration procedure of the Soft RoCE drivers requires
binding to any existing Ethernet network device. This is done with
/sys interface.
A userspace Soft RoCE library (librxe) provides user applications
the ability to run with Soft RoCE devices. The use of rxe verbs ins
user space requires the inclusion of librxe as a device specifics
plug-in to libibverbs. librxe is packaged separately.

This patch introduces the basics for a new module called rdma_vt. This new
driver is a software implementation of the InfiniBand verbs and aims to
replace the multiple implementations that exist and duplicate each others'
code.
While the call to actually register the device with the IB core happens in
rdma_vt, most of the work is still done in the drivers themselves. This
will be changing in a follow on patch this is just laying the groundwork
for this infrastructure.

Users would like to control the behaviour of rdma_cm.
For example, old applications which don't set the
required RoCE gid type could be executed on RoCE V2
network types. In order to support this configuration,
we implement a configfs for rdma_cm.
In order to use the configfs, one needs to mount it and
mkdir <IB device name> inside rdma_cm directory.
The patch adds support for a single configuration file,
default_roce_mode. The mode can either be "IB/RoCE v1" or
"RoCE v2".

This adds an abstraction that allows ULPs to simply pass a completion
object and completion callback with each submitted WR and let the RDMA
core handle the nitty gritty details of how to handle completion
interrupts and poll the CQ.
In detail there is a new ib_cqe structure which just contains the
completion callback, and which can be used to get at the containing
object using container_of. It is pointed to by the WR and WC as an
alternative to the wr_id field, similar to how many ULPs already use
the field to store a pointer using casts.
A driver using the new completion callbacks allocates it's CQs using
the new ib_create_cq API, which in addition to the number of CQEs and
the completion vectors also takes a mode on how we poll for CQEs.
Three modes are available: direct for drivers that never take CQ
interrupts and just poll for them, softirq to poll from softirq context
using the to be renamed blk-iopoll infrastructure which takes care of
rearming and budgeting, or a workqueue for consumer who want to be
called from user context.
Thanks a lot to Sagi Grimberg who helped reviewing the API, wrote
the current version of the workqueue code because my two previous
attempts sucked too much and converted the iSER initiator to the new
API.

The ehca driver is only supported on IBM machines with a custom EBus.
As they have opted to build their newer machines using more industry
standard technology and haven't really been pushing EBus capable
machines for a while, this driver can now safely be moved to the
staging area and scheduled for eventual removal. This plan was brought
to IBM's attention and received their sign-off.

* Add an interval tree implementation for ODP umems. Create an
interval tree for each ucontext (including a count of the number of
ODP MRs in this context, semaphore, etc.), and register ODP umems in
the interval tree.
* Add MMU notifiers handling functions, using the interval tree to
notify only the relevant umems and underlying MRs.
* Register to receive MMU notifier events from the MM subsystem upon
ODP MR registration (and unregister accordingly).
* Add a completion object to synchronize the destruction of ODP umems.
* Add mechanism to abort page faults when there's a concurrent invalidation.
The way we synchronize between concurrent invalidations and page
faults is by keeping a counter of currently running invalidations, and
a sequence number that is incremented whenever an invalidation is
caught. The page fault code checks the counter and also verifies that
the sequence number hasn't progressed before it updates the umem's
page tables. This is similar to what the kvm module does.
In order to prevent the case where we register a umem in the middle of
an ongoing notifier, we also keep a per ucontext counter of the total
number of active mmu notifiers. We only enable new umems when all the
running notifiers complete.

mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and

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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
