Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.

MTT entries are allocated with a buddy allocator, which just keeps
bitmaps for each level of the buddy table. However, all free space
starts out at the highest order, and small allocations start scanning
from the lowest order. When the lowest order tables have no free
space, this can lead to scanning potentially millions of bits before
finding a free entry at a higher order.
We can avoid this by just keeping a count of how many free entries
each order has, and skipping the bitmap scan when an order is
completely empty. This provides a nice performance boost for a
negligible increase in memory usage.

Add an RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE event can be used by rdma-cm
consumers that wish to have their RDMA sessions always use the same
links (eg <hca/port>) as the IP stack does. In the current code, this
does not happen when bonding is used and fail-over happened but the IB
link used by an already existing session is operating fine.
Use the netevent notification for sensing that a change has happened
in the IP stack, then scan the rdma-cm ID list to see if there is an
ID that is "misaligned" with respect to the IP stack, and deliver
RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE for this ID. The consumer can act on the
event or just ignore it.

The RDMA CM has some logic in place to make sure that callbacks on a
given CM ID are delivered to the consumer in a serialized manner.
Specifically it has code to protect against a device removal racing
with a running callback function.
This patch simplifies this logic by using a mutex per ID instead of a
wait queue and atomic variable. This means that cma_disable_remove()
now is more properly named to cma_disable_callback(), and
cma_enable_remove() can now be removed because it just would become a
trivial wrapper around mutex_unlock().

Keep a pointer to the local (src) netdevice in struct rdma_dev_addr,
and copy it in as part of rdma_copy_addr(). Use rdma_translate_ip()
in cma_new_conn_id() to reduce some code duplication and also make
sure the src_dev member gets set.
In a high-availability configuration the netdevice pointer can be used
by the RDMA CM to align RDMA sessions to use the same links as the IP
stack does under fail-over and route change cases.

Handling the zero STag in receive work request requires some extra
logic in the driver:
- Only set the QP_PRIV bit for kernel mode QPs.
- Add a zero STag build function for recv wrs. The uP needs a PBL
allocated and passed down in the recv WR so it can construct a HW
PBL for the zero STag S/G entries. Note: we need to place a few
restrictions on zero STag usage because of this:
1) all SGEs in a recv WR must either be zero STag or not. No mixing.
2) an individual SGE length cannot exceed 128MB for a zero-stag SGE.
This should be OK since it's not really practical to allocate
such a large chunk of pinned contiguous DMA mapped memory.
- Add an optimized non-zero-STag recv wr format for kernel users.
This is needed to optimize both zero and non-zero STag cracking in
the recv path for kernel users.
- Remove the iwch_ prefix from the static build functions.
- Bump required FW version.

The patch tries to solve the problem of device going down and paths being
flushed on an SM change event. The method is to mark the paths as candidates for
refresh (by setting the new valid flag to 0), and wait for an ARP
probe a new path record query.
The solution requires a different and less intrusive handling of SM
change event. For that, the second argument of the flush function
changes its meaning from a boolean flag to a level. In most cases, SM
failover doesn't cause LID change so traffic won't stop. In the rare
cases of LID change, the remote host (the one that hadn't changed its
LID) will lose connectivity until paths are refreshed. This is no
worse than the current state. In fact, preventing the device from
going down saves packets that otherwise would be lost.
