This bug was discovered by Smatch static checker run by Dan Carpenter.
If in free_rx_descriptors(), rx_descs are not NULL then the iser
device is definately not NULL, so no need to check it before
dereferencing it.

To run discovery over iSER we need to advertize the CAP_TEXT_NEGO capability
towards user space. Also need to make sure the login RX buffer is posted when
SendTargets TEXT PDUs are sent. For that end, we use a setting of the
ISCSI_PARAM_DISCOVERY_SESS iscsi param as an indication that this is
discovery session.

<title>IB/iser: Introduce fast memory registration model (FRWR)</title>

<content type='text'>
Newer HCAs and Virtual functions may not support FMRs but rather a fast
registration model, which we call FRWR - "Fast Registration Work Requests".

This model was introduced in 00f7ec36c ("RDMA/core: Add memory management
extensions support") and works when the IB device supports the
IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS capability.

Upon creating the iser device iser will test whether the HCA supports
FMRs.  If no support for FMRs, check if IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS
is supported and assign function pointers that handle fast
registration and allocation of appropriate resources (fast_reg
descriptors).

Registration is done using posting IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR to the QP and
invalidations using posting IB_WR_LOCAL_INV.

<title>IB/iser: Handle unaligned SG in separate function</title>

This routine will be shared with other rdma management schemes.  The
bounce buffer solution for unaligned SG-lists and the sg_to_page_vec
routine are likely to be used for other registration schemes and not
just FMR.

Move them out of the FMR specific code, and call them from there.
Later they will be called also from other reg methods code.

Currently the driver uses FMRs as the only means to register the
memory pointed by SG provided by the SCSI mid-layer with the RDMA
device.

As preparation step for adding more methods for fast path memory
registration, make the alloc/free and reg/unreg calls function
pointers, which are for now just set to the existing FMR ones.

<title>IB/iser: Accept session-&gt;cmds_max from user space</title>

<content type='text'>
Use cmds_max passed from user space to be the number of PDUs to be
supported for the session instead of hard-coded ISCSI_DEF_XMIT_CMDS_MAX.
This allow controlling the max number of SCSI commands for the session.
Also don't ignore the qdepth passed from user space.

Derive from session-&gt;cmds_max the actual number of RX buffers and FMR
pool size to allocate during the connection bind phase.

Since the iser transport connection is established before the iscsi
session/connection are created and bound, we still use one hard-coded
quantity ISER_DEF_XMIT_CMDS_MAX to compute the maximum number of
work-requests to be supported by the RC QP used for the connection.

The above quantity is made to be a power of two between ISCSI_TOTAL_CMDS_MIN
(16) and ISER_DEF_XMIT_CMDS_MAX (512) inclusive.

This is a preparation step to a patch that accepts the number of max
SCSI commands to be supported a session from user space iSCSI tools.

Move the allocation of the login buffer, FMR pool and its associated
page vector from iser_create_ib_conn_res() (which is called prior when
we actually know how many commands should be supported) to
iser_alloc_rx_descriptors() (which is called during the iscsi
connection bind step where this quantity is known).

Also do small refactoring around the deallocation to make that path
similar to the allocation one.
