Pull main rdma updates from Doug Ledford:
 "This is the main pull request for the rdma stack this release.  The
  code has been through 0day and I had it tagged for linux-next testing
  for a couple days.

  Summary:

   - updates to mlx5

   - updates to mlx4 (two conflicts, both minor and easily resolved)

   - updates to iw_cxgb4 (one conflict, not so obvious to resolve,
     proper resolution is to keep the code in cxgb4_main.c as it is in
     Linus' tree as attach_uld was refactored and moved into
     cxgb4_uld.c)

   - improvements to uAPI (moved vendor specific API elements to uAPI
     area)

   - add hns-roce driver and hns and hns-roce ACPI reset support

   - conversion of all rdma code away from deprecated
     create_singlethread_workqueue

   - security improvement: remove unsafe ib_get_dma_mr (breaks lustre in
     staging)"

* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: (75 commits)
  staging/lustre: Disable InfiniBand support
  iw_cxgb4: add fast-path for small REG_MR operations
  cxgb4: advertise support for FR_NSMR_TPTE_WR

<title>IB/core: add support to create a unsafe global rkey to ib_create_pd</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of exposing ib_get_dma_mr to ULPs and letting them use it more or
less unchecked, this moves the capability of creating a global rkey into
the RDMA core, where it can be easily audited.  It also prints a warning
everytime this feature is used as well.

<title>IB/srpt: Update sport-&gt;port_guid with each port refresh</title>

<content type='text'>
If port_guid is set with the default subnet_prefix, then we get a change
event and run a port refresh, we don't update the port_guid.  As a
result, attempts to create a target device that uses the new
subnet_prefix in the wwn will fail to find a match and be rejected by
the ib_srpt driver.  This makes it impossible to configure a port if it
was initialized with a default subnet_prefix and later changed to any
non-default subnet-prefix.  Updating the port refresh task to always
update the wwn based upon the current subnext_prefix solves this
problem.

<id>c0cf4512a31eb3cec70b066bc36ed55f7d05b8c0</id>
<content type='text'>
The memory needed for the send and receive queues associated with
a QP is proportional to the max_sge parameter. The current value
of that parameter is such that with an mlx4 HCA the QP buffer size
is 8 MB. Since DMA is used for communication between HCA and CPU
that buffer either has to be allocated coherently or map_single()
must succeed for that buffer. Since large contiguous allocations
are fragile and since the maximum segment size for e.g. swiotlb
is 256 KB, reduce the max_sge parameter. This patch avoids that
the following text appears on the console after SRP logout and
relogin on a system equipped with multiple IB HCAs:

mlx4_core 0000:05:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full (sz: 8388608 bytes)

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the outstanding target pending updates for v4.7-rc1.

  The highlights this round include:

   - Allow external PR/ALUA metadata path be defined at runtime via top
     level configfs attribute (Lee)
   - Fix target session shutdown bug for ib_srpt multi-channel (hch)
   - Make TFO close_session() and shutdown_session() optional (hch)
   - Drop se_sess-&gt;sess_kref + convert tcm_qla2xxx to internal kref
     (hch)
   - Add tcm_qla2xxx endpoint attribute for basic FC jammer (Laurence)
   - Refactor iscsi-target RX/TX PDU encode/decode into common code
     (Varun)
   - Extend iscsit_transport with xmit_pdu, release_cmd, get_rx_pdu,
     validate_parameters, and get_r2t_ttt for generic ISO offload
     (Varun)
   - Initial merge of cxgb iscsi-segment offload target driver (Varun)

  The bulk of the changes are Chelsio's new driver, along with a number
  of iscsi-target common code improvements made by Varun + Co along the
  way"

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Here are the outstanding target pending updates for v4.7-rc1.

  The highlights this round include:

   - Allow external PR/ALUA metadata path be defined at runtime via top
     level configfs attribute (Lee)
   - Fix target session shutdown bug for ib_srpt multi-channel (hch)
   - Make TFO close_session() and shutdown_session() optional (hch)
   - Drop se_sess-&gt;sess_kref + convert tcm_qla2xxx to internal kref
     (hch)
   - Add tcm_qla2xxx endpoint attribute for basic FC jammer (Laurence)
   - Refactor iscsi-target RX/TX PDU encode/decode into common code
     (Varun)
   - Extend iscsit_transport with xmit_pdu, release_cmd, get_rx_pdu,
     validate_parameters, and get_r2t_ttt for generic ISO offload
     (Varun)
   - Initial merge of cxgb iscsi-segment offload target driver (Varun)

  The bulk of the changes are Chelsio's new driver, along with a number
  of iscsi-target common code improvements made by Varun + Co along the
  way"

* 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (29 commits)
  iscsi-target: Fix early sk_data_ready LOGIN_FLAGS_READY race

  iscsi-target: Make iscsi_tpg_np driver show/store use generic code
  tcm_qla2xxx Add SCSI command jammer/discard capability
  iscsi-target: graceful disconnect on invalid mapping to iovec
  target: need_to_release is always false, remove redundant check and kfree
  target: remove sess_kref and -&gt;shutdown_session

<title>IB/core: Introduce capabilitymask2 field in ClassPortInfo mad</title>

<content type='text'>
Change struct ib_class_port_info to conform to IB Spec 1.3
That in order to get specific capability mask from ClassPortInfo mad.

&gt;From the IB Spec, ClassPortInfo section:
        "CapabilityMask2 Bits 0-26: Additional class-specific capabilities...
         RespTimeValue the rest 5 bits"

The new struct now has one field for capabilitymask2 (previously was the
reserved field) and the resp_time field.

And it fixes up qib and srpt, use of the field repurposed to be used as
capabilitymask2:
IB/qib: Change pma_get_classportinfo
IB/srpt: Adjust the use of ib_class_port_info

<title>IB/srpt: convert to the generic RDMA READ/WRITE API</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace the homegrown RDMA READ/WRITE code in srpt with the generic API.
The only real twist here is that we need to allocate one Linux scatterlist
per direct buffer in the SRP command, and chain them before handing them
off to the target core.

As a side-effect of the conversion the driver will also chain the SEND
of the SRP response to the RDMA WRITE WRs for a DATA OUT command, and
properly account for RDMA WRITE WRs instead of just for RDMA READ WRs
like the driver previously did.

We now allocate half of the SQ size to RDMA READ/WRITE contexts, assuming
by default one RDMA READ or WRITE operation per command.  If a command
has multiple operations it will eat into the budget but will still succeed,
possible after waiting for WQEs to be available.

Also ensure the QPs request the maximum allowed SGEs so that RDMA R/W API
works correctly.

Turns out the template and thus many drivers got the return value wrong:
0 means the fabrics driver needs to put a session reference, which no
driver except for the iSCSI target drivers did.  Fortunately none of these
drivers supports explicit Node ACLs, so the bug was harmless.

Even without that only qla2xxx and iscsi every did real work in
shutdown_session, so get rid of the boilerplate code in all other
drivers.
