<content type='text'>
The RDMA subsystem has very strict set of objects to work with, but it
completely lacks tracking facilities and has no visibility of resource
utilization.

The following patch adds such infrastructure to keep track of RDMA
resources to help with debugging of user space applications. The primary
user of this infrastructure is RDMA nldev netlink (following patches), to
be exposed to userspace via rdmatool, but it is not limited too that.

At this stage, the main three objects (PD, CQ and QP) are added, and more
will be added later.

Pull rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is a fairly plain pull request. Lots of driver updates across the
  stack, a huge number of static analysis cleanups including a close to
  50 patch series from Bart Van Assche, and a number of new features
  inside the stack such as general CQ moderation support.

  Nothing really stands out, but there might be a few conflicts as you
  take things in. In particular, the cleanups touched some of the same
  lines as the new timer_setup changes.

  Everything in this pull request has been through 0day and at least two
  days of linux-next (since Stephen doesn't necessarily flag new
  errors/warnings until day2). A few more items (about 30 patches) from
  Intel and Mellanox showed up on the list on Tuesday. I've excluded
  those from this pull request, and I'm sure some of them qualify as
  fixes suitable to send any time, but I still have to review them
  fully. If they contain mostly fixes and little or no new development,
  then I will probably send them through by the end of the week just to
  get them out of the way.

  There was a break in my acceptance of patches which coincides with the
  computer problems I had, and then when I got things mostly back under
  control I had a backlog of patches to process, which I did mostly last
  Friday and Monday. So there is a larger number of patches processed in
  that timeframe than I was striving for.

  Summary:
   - Add iWARP support to qedr driver
   - Lots of misc fixes across subsystem
   - Multiple update series to hns roce driver
   - Multiple update series to hfi1 driver
   - Updates to vnic driver
   - Add kref to wait struct in cxgb4 driver
   - Updates to i40iw driver
   - Mellanox shared pull request
   - timer_setup changes
   - massive cleanup series from Bart Van Assche
   - Two series of SRP/SRPT changes from Bart Van Assche
   - Core updates from Mellanox
   - i40iw updates
   - IPoIB updates
   - mlx5 updates

<title>RDMA/umem: Avoid partial declaration of non-static function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fec99ededf6be46178d7f571b34dae80fc05f090</id>
<content type='text'>
The RDMA/umem uses generic RB-trees macros to generate various ib_umem
access functions. The generation is performed with INTERVAL_TREE_DEFINE
macro, which allows one of two modes: declare all functions as static or
declare none of the function to be static.

The second mode of operation produces the following sparse errors:
 drivers/infiniband/core/umem_rbtree.c:69:1:
	warning: symbol 'rbt_ib_umem_iter_first' was not declared.
	Should it be static?
 drivers/infiniband/core/umem_rbtree.c:69:1:
	warning: symbol 'rbt_ib_umem_iter_next' was not declared.
	Should it be static?

Code relocation together with declaration of such functions to be
"static" solves the issue.

Because there is no need to have separate file for two functions,
let's consolidate umem_rtree.c and umem_odp.c into one file.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>IB/core: Add uverbs merge trees functionality</title>

<id>urn:sha1:118620d3686b2d624f9a5019f2f14c64cf50d21a</id>
<content type='text'>
Different drivers support different features and even subset of the
common uverbs implementation. Currently, this is handled as bitmask
in every driver that represents which kind of methods it supports, but
doesn't go down to attributes granularity. Moreover, drivers might
want to add their specific types, methods and attributes to let
their user-space counter-parts be exposed to some more efficient
abstractions. It means that existence of different features is
validated syntactically via the parsing infrastructure rather than
using a complex in-handler logic.

In order to do that, we allow defining features and abstractions
as parsing trees. These per-feature parsing tree could be merged
to an efficient (perfect-hash based) parsing tree, which is later
used by the parsing infrastructure.

To sum it up, this makes a parse tree unique for a device and
represents only the features this particular device supports.
This is done by having a root specification tree per feature.
Before a device registers itself as an IB device, it merges
all these trees into one parsing tree. This parsing tree
is used to parse all user-space commands.

A future user-space application could read this parse tree. This
tree represents which objects, methods and attributes are
supported by this device.

This is based on the idea of

<title>IB/core: Add new ioctl interface</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fac9658cabb98afb68ef1630c558864e6f559c07</id>
<content type='text'>
In this ioctl interface, processing the command starts from
properties of the command and fetching the appropriate user objects
before calling the handler.

Parsing and validation is done according to a specifier declared by
the driver's code. In the driver, all supported objects are declared.
These objects are separated to different object namepsaces. Dividing
objects to namespaces is done at initialization by using the higher
bits of the object ids. This initialization can mix objects declared
in different places to one parsing tree using in this ioctl interface.

For each object we list all supported methods. Similarly to objects,
methods are separated to method namespaces too. Namespacing is done
similarly to the objects case. This could be used in order to add
methods to an existing object.

Each method has a specific handler, which could be either a default
handler or a driver specific handler.
Along with the handler, a bunch of attributes are specified as well.
Similarly to objects and method, attributes are namespaced and hashed
by their ids at initialization too. All supported attributes are
subject to automatic fetching and validation. These attributes include
the command, response and the method's related objects' ids.

When these entities (objects, methods and attributes) are used, the
high bits of the entities ids are used in order to calculate the hash
bucket index. Then, these high bits are masked out in order to have a
zero based index. Since we use these high bits for both bucketing and
namespacing, we get a compact representation and O(1) array access.
This is mandatory for efficient dispatching.

Each attribute has a type (PTR_IN, PTR_OUT, IDR and FD) and a length.
Attributes could be validated through some attributes, like:
(*) Minimum size / Exact size
(*) Fops for FD
(*) Object type for IDR

If an IDR/fd attribute is specified, the kernel also states the object
type and the required access (NEW, WRITE, READ or DESTROY).
All uobject/fd management is done automatically by the infrastructure,
meaning - the infrastructure will fail concurrent commands that at
least one of them requires concurrent access (WRITE/DESTROY),
synchronize actions with device removals (dissociate context events)
and take care of reference counting (increase/decrease) for concurrent
actions invocation. The reference counts on the actual kernel objects
shall be handled by the handlers.

|        |
+--------+

[d] = Hash ids to groups using the high order bits

The right types table is also chosen by using the high bits from
the ids. Currently we have either default or driver specific groups.

Once validation and object fetching (or creation) completed, we call
the handler:
int (*handler)(struct ib_device *ib_dev, struct ib_uverbs_file *ufile,
               struct uverbs_attr_bundle *ctx);

ctx bundles attributes of different namespaces. Each element there
is an array of attributes which corresponds to one namespaces of
attributes. For example, in the usually used case:

 ctx                               core

<title>IB/core: Enforce PKey security on QPs</title>

Add new LSM hooks to allocate and free security contexts and check for
permission to access a PKey.

Allocate and free a security context when creating and destroying a QP.
This context is used for controlling access to PKeys.

When a request is made to modify a QP that changes the port, PKey index,
or alternate path, check that the QP has permission for the PKey in the
PKey table index on the subnet prefix of the port. If the QP is shared
make sure all handles to the QP also have access.

Store which port and PKey index a QP is using. After the reset to init
transition the user can modify the port, PKey index and alternate path
independently. So port and PKey settings changes can be a merge of the
previous settings and the new ones.

In order to maintain access control if there are PKey table or subnet
prefix change keep a list of all QPs are using each PKey index on
each port. If a change occurs all QPs using that device and port must
have access enforced for the new cache settings.

These changes add a transaction to the QP modify process. Association
with the old port and PKey index must be maintained if the modify fails,
and must be removed if it succeeds. Association with the new port and
PKey index must be established prior to the modify and removed if the
modify fails.

1. When a QP is modified to a particular Port, PKey index or alternate
   path insert that QP into the appropriate lists.

2. Check permission to access the new settings.

3. If step 2 grants access attempt to modify the QP.

4a. If steps 2 and 3 succeed remove any prior associations.

4b. If ether fails remove the new setting associations.

If a PKey table or subnet prefix changes walk the list of QPs and
check that they have permission. If not send the QP to the error state
and raise a fatal error event. If it's a shared QP make sure all the
QPs that share the real_qp have permission as well. If the QP that
owns a security structure is denied access the security structure is
marked as such and the QP is added to an error_list. Once the moving
the QP to error is complete the security structure mark is cleared.

Maintaining the lists correctly turns QP destroy into a transaction.
The hardware driver for the device frees the ib_qp structure, so while
the destroy is in progress the ib_qp pointer in the ib_qp_security
struct is undefined. When the destroy process begins the ib_qp_security
structure is marked as destroying. This prevents any action from being
taken on the QP pointer. After the QP is destroyed successfully it
could still listed on an error_list wait for it to be processed by that
flow before cleaning up the structure.

If the destroy fails the QPs port and PKey settings are reinserted into
the appropriate lists, the destroying flag is cleared, and access control
is enforced, in case there were any cache changes during the destroy
flow.

To keep the security changes isolated a new file is used to hold security
related functionality.

<title>IB/core: Add idr based standard types</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds the standard idr based types. These types are
used in downstream patches in order to initialize, destroy and
lookup IB standard objects which are based on idr objects.

An idr object requires filling out several parameters. Its op pointer
should point to uverbs_idr_ops and its size should be at least the
size of ib_uobject. We add a macro to make the type declaration easier.

<title>IB/core: Add support for idr types</title>

The new ioctl infrastructure supports driver specific objects.
Each such object type has a hot unplug function, allocation size and
an order of destruction.

When a ucontext is created, a new list is created in this ib_ucontext.
This list contains all objects created under this ib_ucontext.
When a ib_ucontext is destroyed, we traverse this list several time
destroying the various objects by the order mentioned in the object
type description. If few object types have the same destruction order,
they are destroyed in an order opposite to their creation.

Adding an object is done in two parts.
First, an object is allocated and added to idr tree. Then, the
command's handlers (in downstream patches) could work on this object
and fill in its required details.
After a successful command, the commit part is called and the user
objects become ucontext visible. If the handler failed, alloc_abort
should be called.

Removing an uboject is done by calling lookup_get with the write flag
and finalizing it with destroy_commit. A major change from the previous
code is that we actually destroy the kernel object itself in
destroy_commit (rather than just the uobject).

We should make sure idr (per-uverbs-file) and list (per-ucontext) could
be accessed concurrently without corrupting them.
