[ Upstream commit 0b6e26ce89391327d955a756a7823272238eb867 ]

With several ConnectX-4 cards installed on a server, one may receive
irqn &gt; 255 from the kernel API, which we mistakenly trim to 8bit.

This causes EQ creation failure with the following stack trace:
[&lt;ffffffff812a11f4&gt;] dump_stack+0x48/0x64
[&lt;ffffffff810ace21&gt;] __setup_irq+0x3a1/0x4f0
[&lt;ffffffff810ad7e0&gt;] request_threaded_irq+0x120/0x180
[&lt;ffffffffa0923660&gt;] ? mlx5_eq_int+0x450/0x450 [mlx5_core]
[&lt;ffffffffa0922f64&gt;] mlx5_create_map_eq+0x1e4/0x2b0 [mlx5_core]

[&lt;ffffffff812e2afc&gt;] local_pci_probe+0x4c/0xa0

Fixing it by changing of the irqn type from u8 to unsigned int to
support values &gt; 255

Fixes: 61d0e73e0a5a ('net/mlx5_core: Use the the real irqn in eq-&gt;irqn')

<title>IB/mlx5: Postpone remove_keys under knowledge of coming preemption</title>

The remove_keys() logic is performed as garbage collection task. Such
task is intended to be run when no other active processes are running.

The need_resched() will return TRUE if there are user tasks to be
activated in near future.

In such case, we don't execute remove_keys() and postpone
the garbage collection work to try to run in next cycle,
in order to free CPU resources to other tasks.

The possible pseudo-code to trigger such scenario:
1. Allocate a lot of MR to fill the cache above the limit.
2. Wait a small amount of time "to calm" the system.
3. Start CPU extensive operations on multi-node cluster.
4. Expect performance degradation during MR cache shrink operation.

Support the new memory registration API by allocating a
private page list array in mlx5_ib_mr and populate it when
mlx5_ib_map_mr_sg is invoked. Also, support IB_WR_REG_MR
by setting the exact WQE as IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR, just take the
needed information from different places:
- page_size, iova, length, access flags (ib_mr)
- page array (mlx5_ib_mr)
- key (ib_reg_wr)

The IB_WR_FAST_REG_MR handlers will be removed later when
all the ULPs will be converted.

The field is only initialized in mlx, but never used.

If we want to add proper XRC support it should be done with a new
struct ib_xrc_wr.

This shrinks the various WR structures by another 4 bytes.

<content type='text'>
This patch split up struct ib_send_wr so that all non-trivial verbs
use their own structure which embedds struct ib_send_wr.  This dramaticly
shrinks the size of a WR for most common operations:

sizeof(struct ib_send_wr) (old):	96

sizeof(struct ib_send_wr):		48
sizeof(struct ib_rdma_wr):		64
sizeof(struct ib_atomic_wr):		96
sizeof(struct ib_ud_wr):		88
sizeof(struct ib_fast_reg_wr):		88
sizeof(struct ib_bind_mw_wr):		96
sizeof(struct ib_sig_handover_wr):	80

And with Sagi's pending MR rework the fast registration WR will also be
down to a reasonable size:

sizeof(struct ib_fastreg_wr):		64

Since mlx5 driver cannot rely on registration using the
reserved lkey (global_dma_lkey) it used to allocate a private
physical address lkey for each allocated pd.
Commit 96249d70dd70 ("IB/core: Guarantee that a local_dma_lkey
is available") just does it in the core layer so we can go ahead
and use that.
