      RDMA/core: Add support for iWARP Port Mapper user space service · 30dc5e63
      Tatyana Nikolova 提交于
      This patch adds iWARP Port Mapper (IWPM) Version 2 support.  The iWARP
      Port Mapper implementation is based on the port mapper specification
      section in the Sockets Direct Protocol paper -
      http://www.rdmaconsortium.org/home/draft-pinkerton-iwarp-sdp-v1.0.pdf
      
      Existing iWARP RDMA providers use the same IP address as the native
      TCP/IP stack when creating RDMA connections.  They need a mechanism to
      claim the TCP ports used for RDMA connections to prevent TCP port
      collisions when other host applications use TCP ports.  The iWARP Port
      Mapper provides a standard mechanism to accomplish this.  Without this
      service it is possible for RDMA application to bind/listen on the same
      port which is already being used by native TCP host application.  If
      that happens the incoming TCP connection data can be passed to the
      RDMA stack with error.
      
      The iWARP Port Mapper solution doesn't contain any changes to the
      existing network stack in the kernel space.  All the changes are
      contained with the infiniband tree and also in user space.
      
      The iWARP Port Mapper service is implemented as a user space daemon
      process.  Source for the IWPM service is located at
      http://git.openfabrics.org/git?p=~tnikolova/libiwpm-1.0.0/.git;a=summary
      
      The iWARP driver (port mapper client) sends to the IWPM service the
      local IP address and TCP port it has received from the RDMA
      application, when starting a connection.  The IWPM service performs a
      socket bind from user space to get an available TCP port, called a
      mapped port, and communicates it back to the client.  In that sense,
      the IWPM service is used to map the TCP port, which the RDMA
      application uses to any port available from the host TCP port
      space. The mapped ports are used in iWARP RDMA connections to avoid
      collisions with native TCP stack which is aware that these ports are
      taken. When an RDMA connection using a mapped port is terminated, the
      client notifies the IWPM service, which then releases the TCP port.
      
      The message exchange between the IWPM service and the iWARP drivers
      (between user space and kernel space) is implemented using netlink
      sockets.
      
      1) Netlink interface functions are added: ibnl_unicast() and
         ibnl_mulitcast() for sending netlink messages to user space
      
      2) The signature of the existing ibnl_put_msg() is changed to be more
         generic
      
      3) Two netlink clients are added: RDMA_NL_NES, RDMA_NL_C4IW
         corresponding to the two iWarp drivers - nes and cxgb4 which use
         the IWPM service
      
      4) Enums are added to enumerate the attributes in the netlink
         messages, which are exchanged between the user space IWPM service
         and the iWARP drivers
