    IB/iser: Introduce fast memory registration model (FRWR) · 5587856c
    Sagi Grimberg 提交于
    Newer HCAs and Virtual functions may not support FMRs but rather a fast
    registration model, which we call FRWR - "Fast Registration Work Requests".
    
    This model was introduced in 00f7ec36 ("RDMA/core: Add memory management
    extensions support") and works when the IB device supports the
    IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS capability.
    
    Upon creating the iser device iser will test whether the HCA supports
    FMRs.  If no support for FMRs, check if IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS
    is supported and assign function pointers that handle fast
    registration and allocation of appropriate resources (fast_reg
    descriptors).
    
    Registration is done using posting IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR to the QP and
    invalidations using posting IB_WR_LOCAL_INV.
