<title>RDMA/uverbs: Implement an ioctl that can call write and write_ex handlers</title>

Now that the handlers do not process their own udata we can make a
sensible ioctl that wrappers them. The ioctl follows the same format as
the write_ex() and has the user explicitly specify the core and driver
in/out opaque structures and a command number.

This works for all forms of write commands.

<title>IB/uverbs: Build the specs into a radix tree at runtime</title>

This radix tree datastructure is intended to replace the 'hash' structure
used today for parsing ioctl methods during system calls. This first
commit introduces the structure and builds it from the existing .rodata
descriptions.

The so-called hash arrangement is actually a 5 level open coded radix tree.
This new version uses a 3 level radix tree built using the radix tree
library.

Overall this is much less code and much easier to build as the radix tree
API allows for dynamic modification during the building. There is a small
memory penalty to pay for this, but since the radix tree is allocated on
a per device basis, a few kb of RAM seems immaterial considering the
gained simplicity.

The radix tree is similar to the existing tree, but also has a 'attr_bkey'
concept, which is a small value'd index for each method attribute. This is
used to simplify and improve performance of everything in the next
patches.

Pull verbs counters series from Leon Romanovsky:

====================
Verbs flow counters support

This series comes to allow user space applications to monitor real time
traffic activity and events of the verbs objects it manages, e.g.: ibv_qp,
ibv_wq, ibv_flow.

The API enables generic counters creation and define mapping to
association with a verbs object, the current mlx5 driver is using this API
for flow counters.

With this API, an application can monitor the entire life cycle of object
activity, defined here as a static counters attachment.  This API also
allows dynamic counters monitoring of measurement points for a partial
period in the verbs object life cycle.

In addition it presents the implementation of the generic counters
interface.

This will be achieved by extending flow creation by adding a new flow
count specification type which allows the user to associate a previously
created flow counters using the generic verbs counters interface to the
created flow, once associated the user could read statistics by using the
read function of the generic counters interface.

The API includes:
1. create and destroyed API of a new counters objects
2. read the counters values from HW

Note:
Attaching API to allow application to define the measurement points per
objects is a user space only API and this data is passed to kernel when
the counted object (e.g. flow) is created with the counters object.
===================

* tag 'verbs_flow_counters':
  IB/mlx5: Add counters read support

User space application which uses counters functionality, is expected to
allocate/release the counters resources by calling create/destroy verbs
and in turn get a unique handle that can be used to attach the counters to
its counted type.

In commit 357d23c811a7 ("Remove the obsolete libibcm library")
in rdma-core [1], we removed obsolete library which used the
/dev/infiniband/ucmX interface.

Following multiple syzkaller reports about non-sanitized
user input in the UCMA module, the short audit reveals the same
issues in UCM module too.

It is better to disable this interface in the kernel,
before syzkaller team invests time and energy to harden
this unused interface.

Adding new ioctl method for the MR object - REG_DM_MR.

This command can be used by users to register an allocated
device memory buffer as an MR and receive lkey and rkey
to be used within work requests.

It is added as a new method under the MR object and using a new
ib_device callback - reg_dm_mr.
The command creates a standard ib_mr object which represents the
registered memory.

This change adds uverbs support for allocation/freeing
of device memory commands.

A new uverbs object is defined of type idr to represent
and track the new resource type allocation per context.

The API requires provider driver to implement 2 new ib_device
callbacks - one for allocation and one for deallocation which
return and accept (respectively) the ib_dm object which represents
the allocated memory on the device.

The support is added via the ioctl command infrastructure
only.

A verbs application may receive and transmits packets using a data
path pipeline. Sometimes, the first stage in the receive pipeline or
the last stage in the transmit pipeline involves transforming a
packet, either in order to make it easier for later stages to process
it or to prepare it for transmission over the wire. Such transformation
could be stripping/encapsulating the packet (i.e. vxlan),
decrypting/encrypting it (i.e. ipsec), altering headers, doing some
complex FPGA changes, etc.

Some hardware could do such transformations without software data path
intervention at all. The flow steering API supports steering a
packet (either to a QP or dropping it) and some simple packet
immutable actions (i.e. tagging a packet). Complex actions, that may
change the packet, could bloat the flow steering API extensively.
Sometimes the same action should be applied to several flows.
In this case, it's easier to bind several flows to the same action and
modify it than change all matching flows.

Introducing a new flow_action object that abstracts any packet
transformation (out of a standard and well defined set of actions).
This flow_action object could be tied to a flow steering rule via a
new specification.

Currently, we support esp flow_action, which encrypts or decrypts a
packet according to the given parameters. However, we present a
flexible schema that could be used to other transformation actions tied
to flow rules.
