RDMA/mthca: Combine special QP struct with mthca QP

As preparation for the removal of QP allocation logic, we need to ensure
that ib_core allocates the right amount of memory before a call to the
driver create_qp(). It requires from driver to have the same structs for
all types of QPs.

IB/mthca: Distinguish multiple devices in /proc/interrupts

When the mthca driver uses the same name for interrupts for every
device in the system. This can make it very confusing trying to work
out exactly which device MSI-X interrupts are for. Change the driver
to add the PCI name of the device to the interrupt name.

IB/mthca: Avoid changing userspace ABI to handle DMA write barrier attribute

Commit cb9fbc5c ("IB: expand ib_umem_get() prototype") changed the
mthca userspace ABI to provide a way for userspace to indicate which
memory regions need the DMA write barrier attribute. However, it is
possible to handle this without breaking existing userspace, by having
the mthca kernel driver recognize whether it is talking to old or new
userspace, depending on the size of the register MR structure passed in.

The only potential drawback of this is that is allows old userspace
(which has a bug with DMA ordering on large SGI Altix systems) to
continue to run on new kernels, but the advantage of allowing old
userspace to continue to work on unaffected systems seems to outweigh
this, and we can print a warning to push people to upgrade their
userspace.

IB/uverbs: Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() to modules

Export ib_umem_get()/ib_umem_release() and put low-level drivers in
control of when to call ib_umem_get() to pin and DMA map userspace,
rather than always calling it in ib_uverbs_reg_mr() before calling the
low-level driver's reg_user_mr method.

Also move these functions to be in the ib_core module instead of
ib_uverbs, so that driver modules using them do not depend on
ib_uverbs.

This has a number of advantages:
- It is better design from the standpoint of making generic code a
library that can be used or overridden by device-specific code as
the details of specific devices dictate.
- Drivers that do not need to pin userspace memory regions do not
need to take the performance hit of calling ib_mem_get(). For
example, although I have not tried to implement it in this patch,
the ipath driver should be able to avoid pinning memory and just
use copy_{to,from}_user() to access userspace memory regions.
- Buffers that need special mapping treatment can be identified by
the low-level driver. For example, it may be possible to solve
some Altix-specific memory ordering issues with mthca CQs in
userspace by mapping CQ buffers with extra flags.
- Drivers that need to pin and DMA map userspace memory for things
other than memory regions can use ib_umem_get() directly, instead
of hacks using extra parameters to their reg_phys_mr method. For
example, the mlx4 driver that is pending being merged needs to pin
and DMA map QP and CQ buffers, but it does not need to create a
memory key for these buffers. So the cleanest solution is for mlx4
to call ib_umem_get() in the create_qp and create_cq methods.

IB/mthca: Fix access to MTT and MPT tables on non-cache-coherent CPUs

We allocate the MTT table with alloc_pages() and then do pci_map_sg(),
so we must call pci_dma_sync_sg() after the CPU writes to the MTT
table. This works since the device will never write MTTs on mem-free
HCAs, once we get rid of the use of the WRITE_MTT firmware command.
This change is needed to make that work, and is an improvement for
now, since it gives FMRs a chance at working.

For MPTs, both the device and CPU might write there, so we must
allocate DMA coherent memory for these.

IB/mthca: Fix potential AB-BA deadlock with CQ locks

When destroying a QP, mthca locks both the QP's send CQ and receive
CQ. However, the following scenario is perfectly valid:

QP_a: send_cq == CQ_x, recv_cq == CQ_y
QP_b: send_cq == CQ_y, recv_cq == CQ_x

The old mthca code simply locked send_cq and then recv_cq, which in
this case could lead to an AB-BA deadlock if QP_a and QP_b were
destroyed simultaneously.

We can fix this by changing the locking code to lock the CQ with the
lower CQ number first, which will create a consistent lock ordering.
Also, the second CQ is locked with spin_lock_nested() to tell lockdep
that we know what we're doing with the lock nesting.

This bug was found by lockdep.

IB/mthca: Make all device methods truly reentrant

Documentation/infiniband/core_locking.txt says:

All of the methods in struct ib_device exported by a low-level
driver must be fully reentrant. The low-level driver is required to
perform all synchronization necessary to maintain consistency, even
if multiple function calls using the same object are run
simultaneously.

However, mthca's modify_qp, modify_srq and resize_cq methods are
currently not reentrant. Add a mutex to the QP, SRQ and CQ structures
so that these calls can be properly serialized.

IB/mthca: Fix race in reference counting

Fix races in in destroying various objects. If a destroy routine
waits for an object to become free by doing

wait_event(&obj->wait, !atomic_read(&obj->refcount));
/* now clean up and destroy the object */

and another place drops a reference to the object by doing

if (atomic_dec_and_test(&obj->refcount))
wake_up(&obj->wait);

then this is susceptible to a race where the wait_event() and final
freeing of the object occur between the atomic_dec_and_test() and the
wake_up(). And this is a use-after-free, since wake_up() will be
called on part of the already-freed object.

Fix this in mthca by replacing the atomic_t refcounts with plain old
integers protected by a spinlock. This makes it possible to do the
decrement of the reference count and the wake_up() so that it appears
as a single atomic operation to the code waiting on the wait queue.

While touching this code, also simplify mthca_cq_clean(): the CQ being
cleaned cannot go away, because it still has a QP attached to it. So
there's no reason to be paranoid and look up the CQ by number; it's
perfectly safe to use the pointer that the callers already have.

IB: simplify static rate encoding

Push translation of static rate to HCA format into low-level drivers,
where it belongs. For static rate encoding, use encoding of rate
field from IB standard PathRecord, with addition of value 0, for
backwards compatibility with current usage. The changes are:

- Add enum ib_rate to midlayer includes.
- Get rid of static rate translation in IPoIB; just use static rate
directly from Path and MulticastGroup records.
- Update mthca driver to translate absolute static rate into the
format used by hardware. This also fixes mthca's static rate
handling for HCAs that are capable of 4X DDR.

[IB] uverbs: have kernel return QP capabilities

Move the computation of QP capabilities (max scatter/gather entries,
max inline data, etc) into the kernel, and have the uverbs module
return the values as part of the create QP response. This keeps
precise knowledge of device limits in the low-level kernel driver.

This requires an ABI bump, so while we're making changes, get rid of
the max_sge parameter for the modify SRQ command -- it's not used and
shouldn't be there.

Implement fast memory regions (FMRs), where the driver writes directly into

Tavor, MTTs for FMR are separate from regular MTTs, and are reserved at driver
initialization. This is done to limit the amount of virtual memory needed to
map the MTTs. For Arbel, there's no such limitation, and all MTTs and MPTs
may be used for FMR or for regular MR.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
