[PATCH rdma-next v4 0/7] RDMA resource tracking

[Leon Romanovsky <leon-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

Changelog:
v3->4:
  * Added Steve ROB tags.
  * Updated restrack.h to be compatible with kernel-doc format
  * Fixed bug when not all QPs (more than one netlink page) were
    returned by netlink interface
  * Removed "MAX" values from object summary. In followup patches,
    I will eturn object summary per-namespace and not for init PID
    namespace only. Max values can be seen with ibv_devinfo tool.
  * Renamed "comm" to be kern_name.
  * Fix spelling errors.

I didn't change implementation of setting names in objects, because I
want to do it after Steve's implementation of RESTRACK_OBJ_CMA, to be
sure that it works for both of us. Steve's implementation is almost
ready and he is waiting for this code to be accepted.

v2->v3:
  * Added support of PID namespaces.
  * Rewrote rdma_restraack_add function to ensure that it won't
    appear in lists before it is valid.
  * Replace pid/task name caching logic to use task_struct instead.
  * Removed report of name of task's for user space objects. Users
    are expected to read it through /proc/PID/comm.
v1->v2:
 * Rebased on latest rdma/for-next
 * Replaced mutex lock which protect linked lists to be RW semaphore.
   It has no impact on current implementation, because there is only one
   reader (nldev) and it is serialized. However better to be prepared
   for multiple readers from the beginning.
 * Added reinitialization next QP entry logic to ensure that it exists
   and didn't vanish during fill_req_qp() work.
v0->v1:
 * Dropped RFC
 * Separated to thre series, one for for-rc, and two for-next.

-------
The original goal of this series was to allow ability to view connection
(QP) information about running processes, however I used this opportunity and
created common infrastructure to track and report various resources. The report
part is implemented in netlink (nldev), but smart ULPs can now create
advanced usage models based on device utilization.

The current implementation relies on one lock per-object per-device, so
creation/destroying of various objects (CQ, PD, e.t.c) on various or the
same devices doesn't interfere each with another.

The data protection is performed with SRCU and its reader-writer model
ensures that resource won't be destroyed till readers will finish their
work.

Possible future work will include:
 * Reducing number of locks in RDMA, because of SRCU.
 * Converting CMA to be based completely on resource tracking.
 * Addition of other objects and extending current to give full
   and detailed state of the RDMA kernel stack.
 * Replacing synchronize_srcu with call_srcu to make destroy flow
   non-blocking.
 * Provide reliable device reset flow, preserving resource creation ordering.

	Thanks
