This patch adds support for the IB "base memory management extension" (BMME) and the equivalent iWARP operations (which the iWARP verbs mandates all devices must implement). The new operations are: - Allocate an ib_mr for use in fast register work requests. - Allocate/free a physical buffer lists for use in fast register work requests. This allows device drivers to allocate this memory as needed for use in posting send requests (eg via dma_alloc_coherent). - New send queue work requests: * send with remote invalidate * fast register memory region * local invalidate memory region * RDMA read with invalidate local memory region (iWARP only) Consumer interface details: - A new device capability flag IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS is added to indicate device support for these features. - New send work request opcodes IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR, IB_WR_LOCAL_INV, IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV are added. - A new consumer API function, ib_alloc_mr() is added to allocate fast register memory regions. - New consumer API functions, ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list() and ib_free_fast_reg_page_list() are added to allocate and free device-specific memory for fast registration page lists. - A new consumer API function, ib_update_fast_reg_key(), is added to allow the key portion of the R_Key and L_Key of a fast registration MR to be updated. Consumers call this if desired before posting a IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR work request. Consumers can use this as follows: - MR is allocated with ib_alloc_mr(). - Page list memory is allocated with ib_alloc_fast_reg_page_list(). - MR R_Key/L_Key "key" field is updated with ib_update_fast_reg_key(). - MR made VALID and bound to a specific page list via ib_post_send(IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR) - MR made INVALID via ib_post_send(IB_WR_LOCAL_INV), ib_post_send(IB_WR_RDMA_READ_WITH_INV) or an incoming send with invalidate operation. - MR is deallocated with ib_dereg_mr() - page lists dealloced via ib_free_fast_reg_page_list(). Applications can allocate a fast register MR once, and then can repeatedly bind the MR to different physical block lists (PBLs) via posting work requests to a send queue (SQ). For each outstanding MR-to-PBL binding in the SQ pipe, a fast_reg_page_list needs to be allocated (the fast_reg_page_list is owned by the low-level driver from the consumer posting a work request until the request completes). Thus pipelining can be achieved while still allowing device-specific page_list processing. The 32-bit fast register memory key/STag is composed of a 24-bit index and an 8-bit key. The application can change the key each time it fast registers thus allowing more control over the peer's use of the key/STag (ie it can effectively be changed each time the rkey is rebound to a page list).
