Allow users to set FRMR pools aging timer through netlink.
This functionality will allow user to control how long handles reside in
the kernel before being destroyed, thus being able to tune the tradeoff
between memory and HW object consumption and memory registration
optimization.
Since FRMR pools is highly beneficial for application restart scenarios,
this command allows users to modify the aging timer to their application
restart time, making sure the FRMR handles deregistered on application
teardown are kept for long enough in the pools for reuse in the
application startup.

Use the new generic FRMR pools mechanism to optimize the performance of
memory registrations.
The move to the new generic FRMR pools will allow users configuring MR
cache through debugfs of MR cache to use the netlink API for FRMR pools
which will be added later in this series. Thus being able to have more
flexibility configuring the kernel and also being able to configure on
machines where debugfs is not available.
Mlx5_ib will save the mkey index as the handle in FRMR pools, same as the
MR cache implementation.
Upon each memory registration mlx5_ib will try to pull a handle from FRMR
pools and upon each deregistration it will push the handle back to it's
appropriate pool.
Use the vendor key field in umr pool key to save the access mode of the
mkey.
Use the option for kernel-only FRMR pool to manage the mkeys used for
registration with DMAH as the translation between UAPI of DMAH and the
mkey property of st_index is non-trivial and changing dynamically.
Since the value for no PH is 0xff and not zero, switch between them in
the frmr_key to have a zero'ed kernel_vendor_key when not using DMAH.
Remove the limitation we had with MR cache for mkeys up to 2^20 dma
blocks and support mkeys up to HW limitations according to caps.
Remove all MR cache related code.

Add a configuration of pinned handles on a specific FRMR pool.
The configured amount of pinned handles will not be aged and will stay
available for users to claim.
Upon setting the amount of pinned handles to an FRMR pool, we will make
sure we have at least the pinned amount of handles associated with the
pool and create more, if necessary.
The count for pinned handles take into account handles that are used by
user MRs and handles in the queue.
Introduce a new FRMR operation of build_key that allows drivers to
manipulate FRMR keys supplied by the user, allowing failing for
unsupported properties and masking of properties that are modifiable.

Add aging mechanism to handles of FRMR pools.
Keep the handles stored in FRMR pools for at least 1 minute for
application to reuse, destroy all handles which were not reused.
Add a new queue to each pool to accomplish that.
Upon aging trigger, destroy all FRMR handles from the new 'inactive'
queue and move all handles from the 'active' pool to the 'inactive' pool.
This ensures all destroyed handles were not reused for at least one aging
time period and were not held longer than 2 aging time periods.
Handles from the inactive queue will be popped only if the active queue is
empty.

Add a generic Fast Registration Memory Region pools mechanism to allow
drivers to optimize memory registration performance.
Drivers that have the ability to reuse MRs or their underlying HW
objects can take advantage of the mechanism to keep a 'handle' for those
objects and use them upon user request.
We assume that to achieve this goal a driver and its HW should implement
a modify operation for the MRs that is able to at least clear and set the
MRs and in more advanced implementations also support changing a subset
of the MRs properties.
The mechanism is built using an RB-tree consisting of pools, each pool
represents a set of MR properties that are shared by all of the MRs
residing in the pool and are unmodifiable by the vendor driver or HW.
The exposed API from ib_core to the driver has 4 operations:
Init and cleanup - handles data structs and locks for the pools.
Push and pop - store and retrieve 'handle' for a memory registration
or deregistrations request.
The FRMR pools mechanism implements the logic to search the RB-tree for
a pool with matching properties and create a new one when needed and
requires the driver to implement creation and destruction of a 'handle'
when pool is empty or a handle is requested or is being destroyed.
Later patch will introduce Netlink API to interact with the FRMR pools
mechanism to allow users to both configure and track its usage.
A vendor wishing to configure FRMR pool without exposing it or without
exposing internal MR properties to users, should use the
kernel_vendor_key field in the pools key. This can be useful in a few
cases, e.g, when the FRMR handle has a vendor-specific un-modifiable
property that the user registering the memory might not be aware of.

Table 63 of the IBTA spec lists R_Key violations as a class C
error. 9.9.3.1.3 Responder Class C Fault Behavior indicates an
affiliated asynchronous error should be generated at the responder
if the error can be associated to a QP but not a particular RX WQE.
Relevant portion of the spec:
C9-222.1.1: For an HCA responder using Reliable Connection service, for
a Class C responder side error, the error shall be reported to the
requester by generating the appropriate NAK code as specified in Table 63
Responder Error Behavior Summary on page 448. If the error can be related
to a particular QP but cannot be related to a particular WQE on that
receive queue (e.g. the error occurred while executing an RDMA Write
Request without immediate data), the error shall be reported to the
responder’s client as an Affiliated Asynchronous error. See Section
10.10.2.3 Asynchronous Errors on page 576 for details. If the error can be
related to a particular WQE on a given receive queue, the QP shall be
placed into the error state and the error shall be reported to the
responder’s client as a Completion error.
Generate an affiliated asynchronous error upon Rkey violations
if the opcode does not carry an immediate. This causes async
events at the responder for all ops that generate R_Key violations
except WRITE_WITH_IMM, where the error can ride in with the RX WQE.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate

Most simple allocations use GFP_KERNEL, and with the new allocation
helpers being introduced, let's just take advantage of that to simplify
that default case.
It's a numbers game:
git grep 'alloc_obj(' |
sed 's/.*\(GFP_[_A-Z]*\).*/\1/' |
sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
shows that about 90% of all those new allocator instances just use that
standard GFP_KERNEL.
Those helpers are already macros, and we can easily just make it be the
default case when the gfp argument is missing.
And yes, we could do that for all the legacy interfaces too, but let's
keep it to just the new ones at least for now, since those all got
converted recently anyway, so this is not any "extra" noise outside of
that limited conversion.
And, in fact, I want to do this before doing the -rc1 release, exactly
so that we don't get extra merge conflicts.

Commit 69050f8d6d ("treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for
non-scalar types") started using the new allocation helpers, and in the
process showed that they were completely non-working.
The overflow logic in overflows_flex_counter_type() is completely the
wrong way around, and that broke __alloc_flex() completely. By chance,
the resulting code was then such a mess that clang generated
sufficiently garbage code that objtool warned about it all. Which made
it somewhat quicker to narrow things down.
While fixing overflows_flex_counter_type() would presumably fix this
all, I'm excising the whole broken overflow logic from __alloc_flex(),
because we don't want that kind of code in basic allocation functions
anyway.
That (no longer) broken overflows_flex_counter_type() thing needs to be
inserted into the actual __set_flex_counter() logic in the unlikely case
that we ever want this at all. And made conditional.
