The following patch adds experimental support for IPoIB connected
mode, as defined by the draft from the IETF ipoib working group. The
idea is to increase performance by increasing the MTU from the maximum
of 2K (theoretically 4K) supported by IPoIB on top of UD. With this
code, I'm able to get 800MByte/sec or more with netperf without
options on a Mellanox 4x back-to-back DDR system.
Some notes on code:
1. SRQ is used for scalability to large cluster sizes
2. Only RC connections are used (UC does not support SRQ now)
3. Retry count is set to 0 since spec draft warns against retries
4. Each connection is used for data transfers in only 1 direction, so
each connection is either active(TX) or passive (RX). 2 sides that
want to communicate create 2 connections.
5. Each active (TX) connection has a separate CQ for send completions -
this keeps the code simple without CQ resize and other tricks
6. To detect stale passive side connections (where the remote side is
down), we keep an LRU list of passive connections (updated once per
second per connection) and destroy a connection after it has been
unused for several seconds. The LRU rule makes it possible to avoid
scanning connections that have recently been active.

Handle client reregister events by treating them just like LID or
SM changes -- flush all cached paths and rejoin multicast groups.

Make IPoIB's send and receive queue sizes tunable via module
parameters ("send_queue_size" and "recv_queue_size"). This allows the
queue sizes to be enlarged to fix disastrously bad performance on some
platforms and workloads, without bloating memory usage when large
queues aren't needed.

This patch causes the network interface to respond to P_Key change
events correctly. As a result, you'll see a child interface in the
"RUNNING" state (netif_carrier_on()) only when the corresponding P_Key
is configured by the SM. When SM removes a P_Key, the "RUNNING" state
will be disabled for the corresponding network interface. To
implement this, I added IB_EVENT_PKEY_CHANGE event handling. To
prevent flushing the device before the device is open by the "delay
open" mechanism, I added an additional device flag called
IPOIB_FLAG_INITIALIZED.
This also prevents the child network interface from trying to join to
multicast groups until the PKEY is configured. We used to get error
messages like:
ib0.f2f2: couldn't attach QP to multicast group ff12:401b:f2f2:0:0:0:ffff:ffff
in this case. To fix this, I just check IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flag in
ipoib_set_mcast_list().

With the current IPoIB driver, the status of network interfaces stays
"RUNNING" even if the link goes down (for example because a cable is
unplugged). Fix this by flushing the IPoIB interface when the link
goes down.

Move ipoib_ib_dev_flush() to ipoib's workqueue. This keeps it ordered
with respect to other work scheduled by the ipoib driver. This fixes
problems with races, for example:
- ipoib_ib_dev_flush() has started running because of an IB event
- user does ifconfig ib0 down
- ipoib_mcast_stop_thread() gets called twice and waits for the same
completion twice

Minor cleanups: fix a misleading comment, and get rid of attr_mask
variables that are only used to hold constants (just use the constants
directly).

ipoib_create_qp() no longer creates IPoIB's QP, so it shouldn't
destroy the QP on failure -- that unwinding happens elsewhere, so the
current code can cause a double free. While we're at it, the
function's name should match what it actually does, so rename it to
ipoib_init_qp().

Move the InfiniBand headers from drivers/infiniband/include to include/rdma.
This allows InfiniBand-using code to live elsewhere, and lets us remove the
ugly EXTRA_CFLAGS include path from the InfiniBand Makefiles.

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!
