Adit Ranadive 29c8d9eba5 IB: Add vmw_pvrdma driver
This patch series adds a driver for a paravirtual RDMA device. The
device is developed for VMware's Virtual Machines and allows existing RDMA
applications to continue to use existing Verbs API when deployed in VMs
on ESXi. We recently did a presentation in the OFA Workshop [1] regarding
this device.

Description and RDMA Support
============================
The virtual device is exposed as a dual function PCIe device. One part
is a virtual network device (VMXNet3) which provides networking properties
like MAC, IP addresses to the RDMA part of the device. The networking
properties are used to register GIDs required by RDMA applications to
communicate.

These patches add support and the all required infrastructure for
letting applications use such a device. We support the mandatory Verbs API as
well as the base memory management extensions (Local Inv, Send with Inv and
Fast Register Work Requests). We currently support both Reliable Connected
and Unreliable Datagram QPs but do not support Shared Receive Queues
(SRQs).

Also, we support the following types of Work Requests:
 o Send/Receive (with or without Immediate Data)
 o RDMA Write (with or without Immediate Data)
 o RDMA Read
 o Local Invalidate
 o Send with Invalidate
 o Fast Register Work Requests

This version only adds support for version 1 of RoCE. We will add RoCEv2
support in a future patch. We do support registration of both MAC-based
and IP-based GIDs. I have also created a git tree for our user-level driver
[2].

Testing
=======
We have tested this internally for various types of Guest OS - Red Hat,
Centos, Ubuntu 12.04/14.04/16.04, Oracle Enterprise Linux, SLES 12
using backported versions of this driver. The tests included several
runs of the performance tests (included with OFED), Intel MPI PingPong
benchmark on OpenMPI, krping for FRWRs. Mellanox has been kind enough
to test the backported version of the driver internally on their hardware
using a VMware provided ESX build. I have also applied and tested this
with Doug's k.o/for-4.9 branch (commit 5603910b). Note, that this patch
series should be applied all together. I split out the commits so that
it may be easier to review.

select IRQ_POLL
---help---
Core support for InfiniBand (IB). Make sure to also select
any protocols you wish to use as well as drivers for your
InfiniBand hardware.

config INFINIBAND_USER_MAD
tristate "InfiniBand userspace MAD support"
depends on INFINIBAND
---help---
Userspace InfiniBand Management Datagram (MAD) support. This
is the kernel side of the userspace MAD support, which allows
userspace processes to send and receive MADs. You will also
need libibumad from <http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads/management/>.
config INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS
tristate "InfiniBand userspace access (verbs and CM)"
select ANON_INODES
---help---
Userspace InfiniBand access support. This enables the
kernel side of userspace verbs and the userspace
communication manager (CM). This allows userspace processes
to set up connections and directly access InfiniBand
hardware for fast-path operations. You will also need
libibverbs, libibcm and a hardware driver library from
<http://www.openfabrics.org/git/>.

select MMU_NOTIFIER
default y
---help---
On demand paging support for the InfiniBand subsystem.
Together with driver support this allows registration of
memory regions without pinning their pages, fetching the
pages on demand instead.

default y
---help---
ConfigFS support for RDMA communication manager (CM).
This allows the user to config the default GID type that the CM
uses for each device, when initiaing new connections.
