2e5b8a0116 RDMA/core: Add a netlink command to change net namespace of rdma device
Provide an option to change the net namespace of a rdma device through a
netlink command. When multiple rdma devices exists in a system, and when
containers are used, this will limit rdma device visibility to a specified
net namespace.

An example command to change net namespace of mlx5_1 device to the
previously created net namespace 'foo' is:

$ ip netns add foo
$ rdma dev set mlx5_1 netns foo

Add new RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_DEV_PROTOCOL attribute to give ability for UDEV
rules create IB device stable names based on link type protocol.  The
assumption that devices like mlx4 with duality in their link type under
one IB device struct won't be allowed in the future.

2b34c55802 RDMA/core: Add command to set ib_core device net namspace sharing mode
Add netlink command that enables/disables sharing rdma device among
multiple net namespaces.

Using rdma tool,
$rdma sys set netns shared (default mode)

When rdma subsystem netns mode is set to shared mode, rdma devices
will be accessible in all net namespaces.

Using rdma tool,
$rdma sys set netns exclusive

When rdma subsystem netns mode is set to exclusive mode, devices
will be accessible in only one net namespace at any given
point of time.

If there are any net namespaces other than default init_net exists,
while executing this command, it will fail and mode cannot be changed.

To change this mode, netlink command is used instead of sysctl, because
netlink command allows to auto load a module.

3856ec4b93 RDMA/core: Add RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_NEWLINK/DELLINK support
Add support for new LINK messages to allow adding and deleting rdma
interfaces.  This will be used initially for soft rdma drivers which
instantiate device instances dynamically by the admin specifying a netdev
device to use.  The rdma_rxe module will be the first user of these
messages.

The design is modeled after RTNL_NEWLINK/DELLINK: rdma drivers register
with the rdma core if they provide link add/delete functions.  Each driver
registers with a unique "type" string, that is used to dispatch messages
coming from user space.  A new RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR is defined for the "type"
string.  User mode will pass 3 attributes in a NEWLINK message:
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_DEV_NAME for the desired rdma device name to be created,
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_LINK_TYPE for the "type" of link being added, and
RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_NDEV_NAME for the net_device interface to use for this
link.  The DELLINK message will contain the RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_DEV_INDEX of
the device to delete.

b0bad9ad51 RDMA/IWPM: Support no port mapping requirements
A soft iwarp driver that uses the host TCP stack via a kernel mode socket
does not need port mapping.  In fact, if the port map daemon, iwpmd, is
running, then iwpmd must not try and create/bind a socket to the actual
port for a soft iwarp connection, since the driver already has that socket
bound.

Yet if the soft iwarp driver wants to interoperate with hard iwarp devices
that -are- using port mapping, then the soft iwarp driver's mappings still
need to be maintained and advertised by the iwpm protocol.

This patch enhances the rdma driver<->iwcm interface to allow an iwarp
driver to specify that it does not want port mapping.  The iwpm
kernel<->iwpmd interface is also enhanced to pass up this information on
map requests.

Care is taken to interoperate with the current iwpmd version (ABI version
3) and only use the new NL attributes if iwpmd supports ABI version 4.

The ABI version define has also been created in rdma_netlink.h so both
kernel and user code can share it.  The iwcm and iwpmd negotiate the ABI
version to use with a new HELLO netlink message.

f76903d574 RDMA/IWPM: refactor the IWPM message attribute names
In order to add new IWPM_NL attributes, the enums for the IWPM commands
attributes are refactored such that a new attribute can be added without
breaking ABI version 3. Instead of sharing nl attribute enums for both
request and response messages, we create separate enums for each IWPM
message request and reply.  This allows us to extend any given IWPM
message by adding new attributes for just that message.  These new enums
are created, though, in a way to avoid breaking ABI version 3.

da5c850782 RDMA/nldev: add driver-specific resource tracking
Each driver can register a "fill entry" function with the restrack core.
This function will be called when filling out a resource, allowing the
driver to add driver-specific details.  The details consist of a
nltable of nested attributes, that are in the form of <key, [print-type],
value> tuples.  Both key and value attributes are mandatory.  The key
nlattr must be a string, and the value nlattr can be one of the driver
attributes that are generic, but typed, allowing the attributes to be
validated.  Currently the driver nlattr types include string, s32,
u32, s64, and u64.  The print-type nlattr allows a driver to specify
an alternative display format for user tools displaying the attribute.
For example, a u32 attribute will default to "%u", but a print-type
attribute can be included for it to be displayed in hex.  This allows
the user tool to print the number in the format desired by the driver
driver.

More attrs can be defined as they become needed by drivers.

00313983cd RDMA/nldev: provide detailed CM_ID information
Implement RDMA nldev netlink interface to get detailed CM_ID information.

Because cm_id's are attached to rdma devices in various work queue
contexts, the pid and task information at restrak_add() time is sometimes
not useful.  For example, an nvme/f host connection cm_id ends up being
bound to a device in a work queue context and the resulting pid at attach
time no longer exists after connection setup.  So instead we mark all
cm_id's created via the rdma_ucm as "user", and all others as "kernel".
This required tweaking the restrack code a little.  It also required
wrapping some rdma_cm functions to allow passing the module name string.

6f52b16c5b License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license
Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2.  Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

   NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
   services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
   of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier.  The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception.  SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.  See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.

1a6e7c31d7 RDMA/netlink: Add netlink device definitions to UAPI
Introduce new defines to rdma_netlink.h, so the RDMA configuration tool
will be able to communicate with RDMA subsystem by using the shared defines.

The addition of new client (NLDEV) revealed the fact that we exposed by
mistake the RDMA_NL_I40IW define which is not backed by any RDMA netlink
by now and it won't be exposed in the future too. So this patch reuses
the value and deletes the old defines.

The NLDEV operates with objects. The struct ib_device has two straightforward
objects: device itself and ports of that device.

This brings us to propose the following commands to work on those objects:
 * RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_{GET,SET,NEW,DEL} - works on ib_device itself
 * RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_PORT_{GET,SET,NEW,DEL} - works on ports of specific ib_device

Those commands receive/return the device index (RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_DEV_INDEX)
and port index (RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_PORT_INDEX). For device object accesses,
the RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_PORT_INDEX will return the maximum number of ports
for specific ib_device and for port access the actual port index.

The port index starts from 1 to follow RDMA/core internal semantics and
the sysfs exposed knobs.

30dc5e63d6 RDMA/core: Add support for iWARP Port Mapper user space service
This patch adds iWARP Port Mapper (IWPM) Version 2 support.  The iWARP
Port Mapper implementation is based on the port mapper specification
section in the Sockets Direct Protocol paper -
http://www.rdmaconsortium.org/home/draft-pinkerton-iwarp-sdp-v1.0.pdf

Existing iWARP RDMA providers use the same IP address as the native
TCP/IP stack when creating RDMA connections.  They need a mechanism to
claim the TCP ports used for RDMA connections to prevent TCP port
collisions when other host applications use TCP ports.  The iWARP Port
Mapper provides a standard mechanism to accomplish this.  Without this
service it is possible for RDMA application to bind/listen on the same
port which is already being used by native TCP host application.  If
that happens the incoming TCP connection data can be passed to the
RDMA stack with error.

The iWARP Port Mapper solution doesn't contain any changes to the
existing network stack in the kernel space.  All the changes are
contained with the infiniband tree and also in user space.

The iWARP Port Mapper service is implemented as a user space daemon
process.  Source for the IWPM service is located at
http://git.openfabrics.org/git?p=~tnikolova/libiwpm-1.0.0/.git;a=summary

The iWARP driver (port mapper client) sends to the IWPM service the
local IP address and TCP port it has received from the RDMA
application, when starting a connection.  The IWPM service performs a
socket bind from user space to get an available TCP port, called a
mapped port, and communicates it back to the client.  In that sense,
the IWPM service is used to map the TCP port, which the RDMA
application uses to any port available from the host TCP port
space. The mapped ports are used in iWARP RDMA connections to avoid
collisions with native TCP stack which is aware that these ports are
taken. When an RDMA connection using a mapped port is terminated, the
client notifies the IWPM service, which then releases the TCP port.

The message exchange between the IWPM service and the iWARP drivers
(between user space and kernel space) is implemented using netlink
sockets.

1) Netlink interface functions are added: ibnl_unicast() and
   ibnl_mulitcast() for sending netlink messages to user space

2) The signature of the existing ibnl_put_msg() is changed to be more
   generic

3) Two netlink clients are added: RDMA_NL_NES, RDMA_NL_C4IW
   corresponding to the two iWarp drivers - nes and cxgb4 which use
   the IWPM service

4) Enums are added to enumerate the attributes in the netlink
   messages, which are exchanged between the user space IWPM service
   and the iWARP drivers
