[PATCH rdma-next v2 00/15] 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 per-command UAPI attributes for each new buffer
type, a single UVERBS_ATTR_BUFFERS array attribute carries all buffer
descriptors. Each descriptor specifies a buffer type and is indexed by
per-command slot enums. A consumption check ensures userspace and
driver agree on which buffers are used.
The patchset:
1. Introduces the core ib_umem_list infrastructure and UAPI.
2. Factors out CQ buffer umem processing into a helper.
3. Integrates umem_list into CQ creation, with fallback to existing
   per-attribute path.
4-7. Converts efa, mlx5, bnxt_re and mlx4 to use umem_list for CQ
   buffer.
8. Removes the legacy umem field from struct ib_cq, now that all
   drivers use umem_list for CQ buffer management.
9. Adds a consumption check verifying all umem_list buffers were
   consumed by the driver after CQ creation.
10. Integrates umem_list into QP creation.
11. Converts mlx5 QP creation to use umem_list.
12-15. Extends CQ and QP with doorbell record buffer slots and
   converts mlx5 to use them.

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.
