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.

IB/mthca: Work around kernel QP starvation
IB/ipath: Don't put QP in timeout queue if waiting to send
IB/ipath: Don't call spin_lock_irq() from interrupt context
The semantics defined by the InfiniBand specification say that
completion events are only generated when a completions is added to a
completion queue (CQ) after completion notification is requested. In
other words, this means that the following race is possible:
while (CQ is not empty)
ib_poll_cq(CQ);
// new completion is added after while loop is exited
ib_req_notify_cq(CQ);
// no event is generated for the existing completion
To close this race, the IB spec recommends doing another poll of the
CQ after requesting notification.
However, it is not always possible to arrange code this way (for
example, we have found that NAPI for IPoIB cannot poll after
requesting notification). Also, some hardware (eg Mellanox HCAs)
actually will generate an event for completions added before the call
to ib_req_notify_cq() -- which is allowed by the spec, since there's
no way for any upper-layer consumer to know exactly when a completion
was really added -- so the extra poll of the CQ is just a waste.
Motivated by this, we add a new flag "IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS" for
ib_req_notify_cq() so that it can return a hint about whether the a
completion may have been added before the request for notification.
The return value of ib_req_notify_cq() is extended so:
< 0 means an error occurred while requesting notification
== 0 means notification was requested successfully, and if
IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in, then no
events were missed and it is safe to wait for another
event.
> 0 is only returned if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was
passed in. It means that the consumer must poll the
CQ again to make sure it is empty to avoid the race
described above.
We add a flag to enable this behavior rather than turning it on
unconditionally, because checking for missed events may incur
significant overhead for some low-level drivers, and consumers that
don't care about the results of this test shouldn't be forced to pay
for the test.

Add a num_comp_vectors member to struct ib_device and extend
ib_create_cq() to pass in a comp_vector parameter -- this parallels
the userspace libibverbs API. Update all hardware drivers to set
num_comp_vectors to 1 and have all ULPs pass 0 for the comp_vector
value. Pass the value of num_comp_vectors to userspace rather than
hard-coding a value of 1.
We want multiple CQ event vector support (via MSI-X or similar for
adapters that can generate multiple interrupts), but it's not clear
how many vectors we want, or how we want to deal with policy issues
such as how to decide which vector to use or how to set up interrupt
affinity. This patch is useful for experimenting, since no core
changes will be necessary when updating a driver to support multiple
vectors, and we know that we want to make at least these changes
anyway.

Extend rdma_cm to support multicast communication. Multicast support
is added to the existing RDMA_PS_UDP port space, as well as a new
RDMA_PS_IPOIB port space. The latter port space allows joining the
multicast groups used by IPoIB, which enables offloading IPoIB traffic
to a separate QP. The port space determines the signature used in the
MGID when joining the group. The newly added RDMA_PS_IPOIB also
allows for unicast operations, similar to RDMA_PS_UDP.
Supporting the RDMA_PS_IPOIB requires changing how UD QPs are initialized,
since we can no longer assume that the qkey is constant. This requires
saving the Q_Key to use when attaching to a device, so that it is
available when creating the QP. The Q_Key information is exported to
the user through the existing rdma_init_qp_attr() interface.
Multicast support is also exported to userspace through the rdma_ucm.

The IB SA tracks multicast join/leave requests on a per port basis and
does not do any reference counting: if two users of the same port join
the same group, and one leaves that group, then the SA will remove the
port from the group even though there is one user who wants to stay a
member left. Therefore, in order to support multiple users of the
same multicast group from the same port, we need to perform reference
counting locally.
To do this, add an multicast submodule to ib_sa to perform reference
counting of multicast join/leave operations. Modify ib_ipoib (the
only in-kernel user of multicast) to use the new interface.

struct ib_wc currently only includes the local QP number: this matches
the IB spec, but seems mostly useless. The following patch replaces
this with the pointer to qp itself, and updates all low level drivers
and all users.
This has the following advantages:
- Ability to get a per-qp context through wc->qp->qp_context
- Existing drivers already have the qp pointer ready in poll cq, so
this change actually saves a tiny bit (extra memory read) on data path
(for ehca it would actually be expensive to find the QP pointer when
polling a CQ, but ehca does not support SRQ so we can leave wc->qp as
NULL for ehca)
- Users that need the QP number can still get it through wc->qp->qp_num
Use case:
In IPoIB connected mode code, I have a common CQ shared by multiple
QPs. To track connection usage, I need a way to get at some per-QP
context upon the completion, and I would like to avoid allocating
context object per work request just to stick a QP pointer into it.
With this code, I can just use wc->qp->qp_context.

Currently, all userspace verbs operations that call into the kernel
are serialized by ib_uverbs_idr_mutex. This can be a scalability
issue for some workloads, especially for devices driven by the ipath
driver, which needs to call into the kernel even for datapath
operations.
Fix this by adding reference counts to the userspace objects, and then
converting ib_uverbs_idr_mutex into a spinlock that only protects the
idrs long enough to take a reference on the object being looked up.
Because remove operations may fail, we have to do a slightly funky
two-step deletion, which is described in the comments at the top of
uverbs_cmd.c.
This also still leaves ib_uverbs_idr_lock as a single lock that is
possibly subject to contention. However, the lock hold time will only
be a single idr operation, so multiple threads should still be able to
make progress, even if ib_uverbs_idr_lock is being ping-ponged.
