<id>urn:sha1:3b0b2820a64f2d0e9c47ef611ac3c5c44740fe21</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 9a59739bd01f77db6fbe2955a4fce165f0f43568 upstream.

This enum has become part of the uABI, as both RXE and the
ib_uverbs_post_send() command expect userspace to supply values from this
enum. So it should be properly placed in include/uapi/rdma.

In userspace this enum is called 'enum ibv_wr_opcode' as part of
libibverbs.h. That enum defines different values for IB_WR_LOCAL_INV,
IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV, and IB_WR_LSO. These were introduced (incorrectly, it
turns out) into libiberbs in 2015.

The kernel has changed its mind on the numbering for several of the IB_WC
values over the years, but has remained stable on IB_WR_LOCAL_INV and
below.

Based on this we can conclude that there is no real user space user of the
values beyond IB_WR_ATOMIC_FETCH_AND_ADD, as they have never worked via
rdma-core. This is confirmed by inspection, only rxe uses the kernel enum
and implements the latter operations. rxe has clearly never worked with
these attributes from userspace. Other drivers that support these opcodes
implement the functionality without calling out to the kernel.

To make IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV and related work for RXE in userspace we
choose to renumber the IB_WR enum in the kernel to match the uABI that
userspace has bee using since before Soft RoCE was merged. This is an
overall simpler configuration for the whole software stack, and obviously
can't break anything existing.

<title>IB/uverbs: Use uverbs_api to manage the object type inside the uobject</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently the struct uverbs_obj_type stored in the ib_uobject is part of
the .rodata segment of the module that defines the object. This is a
problem if drivers define new uapi objects as we will be left with a
dangling pointer after device disassociation.

Switch the uverbs_obj_type for struct uverbs_api_object, which is
allocated memory that is part of the uverbs_api and is guaranteed to
always exist. Further this moves the 'type_class' into this memory which
means access to the IDR/FD function pointers is also guaranteed. Drivers
cannot define new types.

This makes it safe to continue to use all uobjects, including driver
defined ones, after disassociation.

There is no reason for drivers to do this, the core code should take of
everything. The drivers will provide their information from rodata to
describe their modifications to the core's base uapi specification.

The core uses this to build up the runtime uapi for each device.

<title>RDMA/netdev: Use priv_destructor for netdev cleanup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9f49a5b5c21d58aa84e16cfdc5e99e49faefcb7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Now that the unregister_netdev flow for IPoIB no longer relies on external
code we can now introduce the use of priv_destructor and
needs_free_netdev.

The rdma_netdev flow is switched to use the netdev common priv_destructor
instead of the special free_rdma_netdev and the IPOIB ULP adjusted:
 - priv_destructor needs to switch to point to the ULP's destructor
   which will then call the rdma_ndev's in the right order
 - We need to be careful around the error unwind of register_netdev
   as it sometimes calls priv_destructor on failure
 - ULPs need to use ndo_init/uninit to ensure proper ordering
   of failures around register_netdev

Switching to priv_destructor is a necessary pre-requisite to using
the rtnl new_link mechanism.

The VNIC user for rdma_netdev should also be revised, but that is left for
another patch.

<title>IB/uverbs: Do not pass struct ib_device to the ioctl methods</title>

This does the same as the patch before, except for ioctl. The rules are
the same, but for the ioctl methods the core code handles setting up the
uobject.

- Retrieve the ib_dev from the uobject-&gt;context-&gt;device. This is
  safe under ioctl as the core has already done rdma_alloc_begin_uobject
  and so CREATE calls are entirely protected by the rwsem.
- Retrieve the ib_dev from uobject-&gt;object
- Call ib_uverbs_get_ucontext()

<title>IB/uverbs: Consolidate uobject destruction</title>

<id>urn:sha1:87ad80abc70d2d5a4e383bc7e63867c9bc660838</id>
<content type='text'>
There are several flows that can destroy a uobject and each one is
minimized and sprinkled throughout the code base, making it difficult to
understand and very hard to modify the destroy path.

Consolidate all of these into uverbs_destroy_uobject() and call it in all
cases where a uobject has to be destroyed.

This makes one change to the lifecycle, during any abort (eg when
alloc_commit is not called) we always call out to alloc_abort, even if
remove_commit needs to be called to delete a HW object.

This also renames RDMA_REMOVE_DURING_CLEANUP to RDMA_REMOVE_ABORT to
clarify its actual usage and revises some of the comments to reflect what
the life cycle is for the type implementation.

<title>RDMA, core and ULPs: Declare ib_post_send() and ib_post_recv() arguments const</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d34ac5cd3a73aacd11009c4fc3ba15d7ea62c411</id>
<content type='text'>
Since neither ib_post_send() nor ib_post_recv() modify the data structure
their second argument points at, declare that argument const. This change
makes it necessary to declare the 'bad_wr' argument const too and also to
modify all ULPs that call ib_post_send(), ib_post_recv() or
ib_post_srq_recv(). This patch does not change any functionality but makes
it possible for the compiler to verify whether the
ib_post_(send|recv|srq_recv) really do not modify the posted work request.

To make this possible, only one cast had to be introduce that casts away
constness, namely in rpcrdma_post_recvs(). The only way I can think of to
avoid that cast is to introduce an additional loop in that function or to
change the data type of bad_wr from struct ib_recv_wr ** into int
(an index that refers to an element in the work request list). However,
both approaches would require even more extensive changes than this
patch.

When posting a send work request, the work request that is posted is not
modified by any of the RDMA drivers. Make this explicit by constifying
most ib_send_wr pointers in RDMA transport drivers.

<title>IB/uverbs: Rework the locking for cleaning up the ucontext</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e951747a087a8655f467833bb367ebf53d57527c</id>
<content type='text'>
The locking here has always been a bit crazy and spread out, upon some
careful analysis we can simplify things.

Create a single function uverbs_destroy_ufile_hw() that internally handles
all locking. This pulls together pieces of this process that were
sprinkled all over the places into one place, and covers them with one
lock.

This eliminates several duplicate/confusing locks and makes the control
flow in ib_uverbs_close() and ib_uverbs_free_hw_resources() extremely
simple.

Unfortunately we have to keep an extra mutex, ucontext_lock.  This lock is
logically part of the rwsem and provides the 'down write, fail if write
locked, wait if read locked' semantic we require.
