Userspace apps are supposed to release all ib device resources if they
receive a fatal async event (IBV_EVENT_DEVICE_FATAL). However, the
app has no way of knowing when the device has come back up, except to
repeatedly attempt ibv_open_device() until it succeeds.
However, currently there is no protection against the open succeeding
while the device is in being removed following the fatal event. In
this case, the open will succeed, but as a result the device waits in
the middle of its removal until the new app releases its resources --
and the new app will not do so, since the open succeeded at a point
following the fatal event generation.
This patch adds an "active" flag to the device. The active flag is set
to false (in the fatal event flow) before the "fatal" event is
generated, so any subsequent ibv_dev_open() call to the device will
fail until the device comes back up, thus preventing the above
deadlock.

The current MTT allocator uses kmalloc() to allocate a buffer for its
buddy allocator, and thus is limited in the amount of MTT segments
that it can control. As a result, the size of memory that can be
registered is limited too. This patch uses a module parameter to
control the number of MTT entries that each segment represents,
allowing more memory to be registered with the same number of
segments.

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.

The semantics defined by the InfiniBand specification say that
completion events are only generated when a completions is added to a
completion queue (CQ) after completion notification is requested. In
other words, this means that the following race is possible:
while (CQ is not empty)
ib_poll_cq(CQ);
// new completion is added after while loop is exited
ib_req_notify_cq(CQ);
// no event is generated for the existing completion
To close this race, the IB spec recommends doing another poll of the
CQ after requesting notification.
However, it is not always possible to arrange code this way (for
example, we have found that NAPI for IPoIB cannot poll after
requesting notification). Also, some hardware (eg Mellanox HCAs)
actually will generate an event for completions added before the call
to ib_req_notify_cq() -- which is allowed by the spec, since there's
no way for any upper-layer consumer to know exactly when a completion
was really added -- so the extra poll of the CQ is just a waste.
Motivated by this, we add a new flag "IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS" for
ib_req_notify_cq() so that it can return a hint about whether the a
completion may have been added before the request for notification.
The return value of ib_req_notify_cq() is extended so:
< 0 means an error occurred while requesting notification
== 0 means notification was requested successfully, and if
IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was passed in, then no
events were missed and it is safe to wait for another
event.
> 0 is only returned if IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS was
passed in. It means that the consumer must poll the
CQ again to make sure it is empty to avoid the race
described above.
We add a flag to enable this behavior rather than turning it on
unconditionally, because checking for missed events may incur
significant overhead for some low-level drivers, and consumers that
don't care about the results of this test shouldn't be forced to pay
for the test.

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.

The driver allocates SRQ WQEs size with a power of 2 size both for
Tavor and for memfree. For Tavor, however, the hardware only requires
the WQE size to be a multiple of 16, not a power of 2, and the max
number of scatter-gather allowed is reported accordingly by the
firmware (and this is the value currently returned by
ib_query_device() and ibv_query_device()).
If the max number of scatter/gather entries reported by the FW is used
when creating an SRQ, the creation will fail for Tavor, since the
required WQE size will be increased to the next power of 2, which
turns out to be larger than the device permitted max WQE size (which
is not a power of 2).
This patch reduces the reported SRQ max wqe size so that it can be used
successfully in creating an SRQ on Tavor HCAs.

This patch is checks whether the HCA supports posting FW commands
through a doorbell page (user access region 0, or "UAR0"). If this is
supported, the driver maps UAR0 and uses it for FW commands. This can
be controlled by the value of a writable module parameter
fw_cmd_doorbell. When the parameter is 0, the commands are posted
through HCR using the old method; otherwise if HCA is capable commands
go through UAR0.
This use of UAR0 to post commands eliminates the need for polling the
"go" bit prior to posting a new command. Since reading from a PCI
device is much more expensive then issuing a posted write, it is
expected that issuing FW commands this way will provide better CPU
utilization.
