<title>RDMA/rw: Use IB_WR_REG_MR_INTEGRITY for PI handover</title>

<id>e9a53e73a2507f3a1680538bd167b2e49533659a</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace the old signature handover API with the new one. The new API
simplifes PI handover code complexity for ULPs and improve performance.
For RW API it will reduce the maximum number of work requests per task
and the need of dealing with multiple MRs (and their registrations and
invalidations) per task. All the mappings and registration of the data
and the protection buffers is done by the LLD using a single WR and a
special MR type (IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY) for the PI handover operation.

The setup of the tested benchmark (using iSER ULP):
 - 2 servers with 24 cores (1 initiator and 1 target)
 - ConnectX-4/ConnectX-5 adapters
 - 24 target sessions with 1 LUN each
 - ramdisk backstore
 - PI active

Performance results running fio (24 jobs, 128 iodepth) using
write_generate=1 and read_verify=1 (w/w.o patch):

bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1243.3K/1182.3K    1725.1K/1680.2K
4k    571233/528835      743293/748259
32k   72388/71086        71789/93573

Using write_generate=0 and read_verify=0 (w/w.o patch):
bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1572.1K/1427.2K    1823.5K/1724.3K
4k    921992/916194      753772/768267
32k   75052/73960        73180/95484

There is a performance degradation when writing big block sizes.
Degradation is caused by the complexity of combining multiple
indirections and perform RDMA READ operation from it. This will be
fixed in the following patches by reducing the indirections if
possible.

The amount of payload per MR depends on device capabilities and
the memory registration mode in use. The new rdma_rw API hides both,
making it difficult for ULPs to determine how large their transport
send queues need to be.

Expose the MR payload information via a new API.

This supports both manual mapping of lots of SGEs, as well as using MRs
from the QP's MR pool, for iWarp or other cases where it's more optimal.
For now, MRs are only used for iWARP transports.  The user of the RDMA-RW
API must allocate the QP MR pool as well as size the SQ accordingly.

Thanks to Steve Wise for testing, fixing and rewriting the iWarp support,
and to Sagi Grimberg for ideas, reviews and fixes.
