[PATCH rdma-next v3 00/17] RDMA: Introduce generic buffer descriptor infrastructure for umem

[Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us>]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com>

This patchset introduces a generic buffer descriptor infrastructure
for passing memory buffers (dma-buf or user VA) to uverbs commands,
and wires it up for CQ and QP creation in the uverbs core, efa, mlx5,
bnxt_re and mlx4 drivers.

Instead of adding ad-hoc per-buffer UAPI attributes for each new buffer
type, each command declares dedicated UVERBS_ATTR_UMEM attributes that
carry one buffer descriptor each. Each descriptor specifies a buffer
type, covering both VA and dma-buf. A consumption check ensures
userspace and driver agree on which attributes are used.

The patchset:
1-2,4. Plumbing: rename ib_umem_get() to ib_umem_get_va() and re-route
   it through the new central ib_umem_get(); no behaviour change.
3. Introduces the core buffer descriptor infrastructure and UAPI.
5. Inlines the const attr helpers so ib_core can use them.
6. Factors out CQ buffer umem processing into a helper.
7. Adds the CQ buffer UMEM attribute and driver wrappers.
8-11. Converts efa, mlx5, bnxt_re and mlx4 to use the new CQ helpers,
   with drivers taking umem ownership.
12. Removes the legacy umem field from struct ib_cq, now that all
   drivers use the new helpers.
13. Adds optional whole-QP, RQ and SQ UMEM attributes to QP creation.
14. Converts mlx5 QP creation to use the new attributes.
15-16. Adds mlx5 driver-namespace UMEM attributes for CQ and QP
   doorbell records.
17. Adds a CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL-gated tracker that warns when userspace
   supplies an attribute nothing reads.

Note this re-works the original patchset trying to handle this:

The code is so much different I'm sending this is a new patchset.
