Modify the various routines used to allocate memory resources which serve QPs in mlx4 to get an input GFP directive. Have the Ethernet driver to use GFP_KERNEL in it's QP allocations as done prior to this commit, and the IB driver to use GFP_NOIO when the IB verbs IB_QP_CREATE_USE_GFP_NOIO QP creation flag is provided.

Commit f4ec9e95 "mlx4_core: Change bitmap allocator to work in round-robin fashion" introduced round-robin allocation (via bitmap) for all resources which allocate via a bitmap. Round robin allocation is desirable for mcgs, counters, pd's, UARs, and xrcds. These are simply numbers, with no involvement of ICM memory mapping. Round robin is required for QPs, since we had a problem with immediate reuse of a 24-bit QP number (commit f4ec9e95). However, for other resources which use the bitmap allocator and involve mapping ICM memory -- MPTs, CQs, SRQs -- round-robin is not desirable. What happens in these cases is the following: ICM memory is allocated and mapped in chunks of 256K. Since the resource allocation index goes up monotonically, the allocator will eventually require mapping a new chunk. Now, chunks are also unmapped when their reference count goes back to zero. Thus, if a single app is running and starts/exits frequently we will have the following situation: When the app starts, a new chunk must be allocated and mapped. When the app exits, the chunk reference count goes back to zero, and the chunk is unmapped and freed. Therefore, the app must pay the cost of allocation and mapping of ICM memory each time it runs (although the price is paid only when allocating the initial entry in the new chunk). For apps which allocate MPTs/SRQs/CQs and which operate as described above, this presented a performance problem. We therefore roll back the round-robin allocator modification for MPTs, CQs, SRQs.

Under most circumstances, the bitmap allocator does not allocate the same full 24-bit QP number immediately after a QP is destroyed. This works by using the upper bits of a 24-bit QP number, beyond the number of QPs that are actually available in the low level driver. For example, say that the HCA is willing to allocate a maximum of 64K qps. We use the bits 23..16 as a "counter" which is incremented by 1 at each allocation so that even if the same physical QP is re-allocated, it will not receive the same 24-bit QP number. However, we have seen the following scenario: 1. Allocate, say, 255 QPs in succession. This will cause a wrap of the "counter". 2. Destroy the first QP allocated, then allocate a new QP. The new QP, because of the counter wraparound, will get the same FULL QP number as the QP just destroyed! This is a problem because packets in transit can be erroneously delivered to the new QP when they were meant for the old (destroyed) QP, because the full QP number of the new QP is identical to the destroyed QP. (The "counter" mechanism is meant to prevent this by having the full 24-bit QP numbers differ even if the physical QP on the HCA is the same. As we see above, however, this mechanism does not always work). The best fix for this problem is to allocate QPs in round-robin mode, so that the physical QP numbers are not immediately re-used.

Replace loops calling set_bit() and clear_bit() with bitmap_set() and bitmap_clear(). Unlike loops calling set_bit() and clear_bit(), bitmap_set() and bitmap_clear() are not atomic. But this is ok. Because the bitmap operations are protected by bitmap->lock except for initialization of the bitmap in mlx4_bitmap_init().

For ethernet support, we need to reserve QPs for the ethernet and fibre channel driver. The QPs are reserved at the end of the QP table. (This way we assure that they are aligned to their size) We need to consider these reserved ranges in bitmap creation, so we extend the mlx4 bitmap utility functions to allow reserved ranges at both the bottom and the top of the range.

To allow allocating an aligned range of consecutive QP numbers, add an interface to reserve an aligned range of QP numbers and have the QP allocation function always take a QP number.

Since kernel virtual memory is not a problem on 64-bit systems, there is no reason to use our own 2-layer page mapping scheme for large kernel queue buffers on such systems.

Add an InfiniBand driver for Mellanox ConnectX adapters. Because these adapters can also be used as ethernet NICs and Fibre Channel HBAs, the driver is split into two modules: mlx4_core: Handles low-level things like device initialization and processing firmware commands. Also controls resource allocation so that the InfiniBand, ethernet and FC functions can share a device without stepping on each other. mlx4_ib: Handles InfiniBand-specific things; plugs into the InfiniBand midlayer.
