[ Upstream commit 50d5c02ab8e62325548bd3a6e6b758a9dcd6e7c3 ]

Sashiko points out that, due to rereg_mr, the PD is actually variable and
all the touches in nldev are racy.

Use mr-&gt;device instead of mr-&gt;pd-&gt;device.

Getting the PD restrack ID is more tricky. To avoid disturbing all the
happy paths, add an rdma_restrack_sync() operation which is sort of like
flush_workqueue() or synchronize_irq(): after it returns, all the old
nldev touches to the mr are gone and everything sees the new PD. This
makes it safe to reach into the PD pointer.

<title>RDMA: Properly propagate the number of CQEs as unsigned int</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of checking whether the number of CQEs is negative or zero, fix the
.resize_user_cq() declaration to use unsigned int. This better reflects the
expected value range. The sanity check is then handled correctly in ib_uvbers.

This flag can be set by drivers once they have finished auditing and
implementing the full udata support on every udata operation.

My intention going forward is that driver authors proposing new udata uAPI
for their drivers must first do the work and set this flag.

If this flag is not set the userspace should not try to use udata based
uAPI newer than this commit, though on a case by case basis it may be OK
based on what checks historical kernels performed on the specific call.

Since bnxt_re is audited now, it is the first driver to set the flag.

<title>IB/core: Introduce FRMR pools</title>

<id>ce5df0b891edfa19620cd7e28bd69246c77ae78c</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
