Stefan Metzmacher a760e80e90 RDMA/core: introduce rdma_restrict_node_type()
For smbdirect it required to use different ports depending
on the RDMA protocol. E.g. for iWarp 5445 is needed
(as tcp port 445 already used by the raw tcp transport for SMB),
while InfiniBand, RoCEv1 and RoCEv2 use port 445, as they
use an independent port range (even for RoCEv2, which uses udp
port 4791 itself).

Currently ksmbd is not able to function correctly at
all if the system has iWarp (RDMA_NODE_RNIC) interface(s)
and any InfiniBand, RoCEv1 and/or RoCEv2 interface(s)
at the same time.

And cifs.ko uses 5445 with a fallback to 445, which
means depending on the available interfaces, it tries
5445 in the RoCE range or may tries iWarp with 445
as a fallback. This leads to strange error messages
and strange network captures.

To avoid these problems they will be able to
use rdma_restrict_node_type(RDMA_NODE_RNIC) before
trying port 5445 and rdma_restrict_node_type(RDMA_NODE_IB_CA)
before trying port 445. It means we'll get early
-ENODEV early from rdma_resolve_addr() without any
network traffic and timeouts.

This is designed to be called before calling any
of rdma_bind_addr(), rdma_resolve_addr() or rdma_listen().

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
