mainlining shenanigans

Using this new API reduces iSER code complexity. It also reduces the maximum number of work requests per task and the need of dealing with multiple MRs (and their registrations and invalidations) per task. It is done by using a single WR and a special MR type (IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY) for PI operation. The setup of the tested benchmark: - 2 servers with 24 cores (1 initiator and 1 target) - 24 target sessions with 1 LUN each - ramdisk backstore - PI active Performance results running fio (24 jobs, 128 iodepth) using write_generate=0 and read_verify=0 (w/w.o patch): bs IOPS(read) IOPS(write) ---- ---------- ---------- 512 1236.6K/1164.3K 1357.2K/1332.8K 1k 1196.5K/1163.8K 1348.4K/1262.7K 2k 1016.7K/921950 1003.7K/931230 4k 662728/600545 595423/501513 8k 385954/384345 333775/277090 16k 222864/222820 170317/170671 32k 116869/114896 82331/82244 64k 55205/54931 40264/40021 Using write_generate=1 and read_verify=1 (w/w.o patch): bs IOPS(read) IOPS(write) ---- ---------- ---------- 512 1090.1K/1030.9K 1303.9K/1101.4K 1k 1057.7K/904583 1318.4K/988085 2k 965226/638799 1008.6K/692514 4k 555479/410151 542414/414517 8k 298675/224964 264729/237508 16k 133485/122481 164625/138647 32k 74329/67615 80143/78743 64k 35716/35519 39294/37334 We get performance improvement at all block sizes. The most significant improvement is when writing 4k bs (almost 30% more iops).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
