[ Upstream commit 3a0b171302eea1732a168e26db3b8461f51cc1f9 ]

Added helpers to acquire and release the umem dmabuf revoke
lock. The intent is to avoid the need for drivers to peek
into the ib_umem_dmabuf internals to get the dma_resv_lock
and bring us one step closer to abstracting ib_umem_dmabuf
away from drivers in general.

[ Upstream commit ff85a2ebacbdaec9f28c4660c991295ace93cd1c ]

Added an interface for importing a pinned but revocable dmabuf.
This interface can be used by drivers that are capable of revocation
so that they can import dmabufs from exporters that may require it,
such as VFIO.

This interface implements a two step process, where drivers will first
call ib_umem_dmabuf_get_pinned_revocable_and_lock() which will pin and
map the dmabuf (and provide a functional move_notify/invalidate_mappings
callback), but will return with the lock still held so that the
driver can then populate the callback via
ib_umem_dmabuf_set_revoke_locked() without races from concurrent
revocations. This scheme also allows for easier integration with drivers
that may not have actually allocated their internal MR objects at the time
of the get_pinned_revocable* call.

[ Upstream commit 253c61dc256b3e6be65657f78b4a8452163ce00f ]

Introduce an option to revoke DMABUF umem.

This option will retain the umem allocation while revoking its DMA
mapping. Furthermore, any subsequent attempts to map the pages should
fail once the umem has been revoked.

This functionality will be utilized in the upcoming patches in the
series, where we aim to delay umem deallocation until the mkey
deregistration. However, we must unmap its pages immediately.

logic into iter.c and rdma/iter.h so that rdma/ib_umem.h and

[ Upstream commit badad6fad60def1b9805559dd81dbab3d97b82aa ]

If IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS changes from RO to RW then the umem has to be
re-evaluated to ensure it is properly pinned as RW. Since the umem is
hidden inside each driver's mr struct add a ib_umem_check_rereg() function
that each driver has to call before processing IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS.

mlx4 has to retain its duplicate ib_access_writable check because it
implements IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS | IB_MR_REREG_TRANS by changing both items
in place sequentially while the MR is live, so it will continue to not
support this combination.

[ Upstream commit afcae7d7b8a278a6c29e064f99e5bafd4ac1fb37 ]

svc_rdma_accept() computes sc_sq_depth as the sum of rq_depth and the
number of rdma_rw contexts (ctxts). This value is used to allocate the
Send CQ and to initialize the sc_sq_avail credit pool.

However, when the device uses memory registration for RDMA operations,
rdma_rw_init_qp() inflates the QP's max_send_wr by a factor of three
per context to account for REG and INV work requests. The Send CQ and
credit pool remain sized for only one work request per context,
causing Send Queue exhaustion under heavy NFS WRITE workloads.

Introduce rdma_rw_max_sge() to compute the actual number of Send Queue
entries required for a given number of rdma_rw contexts. Upper layer
protocols call this helper before creating a Queue Pair so that their
Send CQs and credit accounting match the QP's true capacity.

Update svc_rdma_accept() to use rdma_rw_max_sge() when computing
sc_sq_depth, ensuring the credit pool reflects the work requests
that rdma_rw_init_qp() will reserve.
