Increase IPoIB ring sizes to twice their original sizes (RX: 128->256,
TX: 64->128) to act as a shock absorber for high traffic peaks. With
the current settings, we have seen cases that there are many calls to
netif_stop_queue(), which causes degradation in throughput. Also,
larger receive buffer sizes help IPoIB in CM mode to avoid experiencing
RNR NAK conditions due to insufficient receive buffers at the SRQ.

The patch tries to solve the problem of device going down and paths being
flushed on an SM change event. The method is to mark the paths as candidates for
refresh (by setting the new valid flag to 0), and wait for an ARP
probe a new path record query.
The solution requires a different and less intrusive handling of SM
change event. For that, the second argument of the flush function
changes its meaning from a boolean flag to a level. In most cases, SM
failover doesn't cause LID change so traffic won't stop. In the rare
cases of LID change, the remote host (the one that hadn't changed its
LID) will lose connectivity until paths are refreshed. This is no
worse than the current state. In fact, preventing the device from
going down saves packets that otherwise would be lost.

For devices that don't support SRQs, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() is
called from both ipoib_cm_handle_rx_wc() and ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx(),
and these two callers are not synchronized against each other.
However, ipoib_cm_post_receive_nonsrq() always reuses the same receive
work request and scatter list structures, so multiple callers can end
up stepping on each other, which leads to posting garbled work
requests.
Fix this by having the caller pass in the ib_recv_wr and ib_sge
structures to use, and allocating new local structures in
ipoib_cm_nonsrq_init_rx().

The connected mode implementation in the IPoIB driver has a large
overhead in the way SKBs are handled in the receive flow. It usually
allocates an SKB with as big as was used in the currently received SKB
and moves unused fragments from the old SKB to the new one. This
involves a loop on all the remaining fragments and incurs overhead on
the CPU. This patch, for small SKBs, allocates an SKB just large
enough to contain the received data and copies to it the data from the
received SKB. The newly allocated SKB is passed to the stack and the
old SKB is reposted.
When running netperf, UDP small messages, without this pach I get:

With this patch I get both send and receive at ~315 mbps.
The reason that send performance actually slows down is as follows:
When using this patch, the overhead of the CPU for handling RX packets
is dramatically reduced. As a result, we do not experience RNR NAK
messages from the receiver which cause the connection to be closed and
reopened again; when the patch is not used, the receiver cannot handle
the packets fast enough so there is less time to post new buffers and
hence the mentioned RNR NACKs. So what happens is that the
application *thinks* it posted a certain number of packets for
transmission but these packets are flushed and do not really get
transmitted. Since the connection gets opened and closed many times,
each time netperf gets the CPU time that otherwise would have been
given to IPoIB to actually transmit the packets. This can be verified
when looking at the port counters -- the output of ifconfig and the
oputput of netperf (this is for the case without the patch):
tx packets

port counter: 1,543,996

We saw a kernel oops in our regression testing when a multicast "join
finish" occurred just after the interface was -- this is
<https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1040>. The test
randomly causes the HCA physical port to go down then up.
The cause of this is that ipoib_mcast_join_finish() processing happen

broadcast pointer is NULL). This patch tests for and handles the case
where priv->broadcast is NULL.

Commit f56bcd80 ("IPoIB: Use separate CQ for UD send completions")
introduced a bug where the transmit queue could get stopped and never
woken up. The problem is that send completions are only polled at the
end of the xmit function, so if the send queue fills up and the xmit
path stops the queue, then there is no way for send completions to
ever get polled, and so the transmit queue stays stopped forever.
Fix this by arming the send CQ just before posting the last send
request that fills the send queue. Then, when the completion event
handler is called, drain the send CQ. Since it is possible that not
enough send completions are in the CQ, verify that the the net queue
has been woken up after draining the send CQ, and if not arm a timer
and drain again at the timer function.

If a P_Key is deleted and then re-added at the same index, then IPoIB
gets confused because __ipoib_ib_dev_flush() only checks whether the
index is the same without checking whether the P_Key was present, so
the interface is stopped when the P_Key is deleted, but the event when
the P_Key is re-added gets ignored and the interface never gets
restarted.
Also, switch to using ib_find_pkey() instead of ib_find_cached_pkey()
everywhere in IPoIB, since none of the places that look for P_Keys are
in a fast path or in non-sleeping context, and in general we want to
kill off the whole caching infrastructure eventually. This also fixes
consistency problems caused because some IPoIB queries were cached and
some were uncached during the window where the cache was not updated.

When set_multicast_list() is called the multicast task is restarted
and the IPOIB_MCAST_STARTED bit is cleared. As a result for some
window of time, multicast packets are not transmitted nor queued but
rather dropped by ipoib_mcast_send(). These dropped packets are
painful in two cases:
- bonding fail-over which both calls set_multicast_list() on the new
active slave and sends Gratuitous ARP through that slave.
- IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP code which both calls set_multicast_list() on the
device and issues IGMP leave.
In both these cases, depending on the scheduling of the IPoIB
multicast task, the packets would be dropped. As a result, in the
bonding case, the failover would not be detected by the peers until
their neighbour is renewed the neighbour (which takes a few tens of
seconds). In the IGMP case, the IP router doesn't get an IGMP leave
and would only learn on that from further probes on the group (also a
delay of at least a few tens of seconds).
Fix this by allowing transmission (or queuing) depending on the
IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flag instead of the IPOIB_MCAST_STARTED flag.

Some IB adapters (notably IBM's eHCA) do not implement SRQs (shared
receive queues). The current IPoIB connected mode support only works
on devices that support SRQs.
Fix this by adding support for using the receive queue of each
connected mode receive QP. The disadvantage of this compared to using
an SRQ is that it means a full queue of receives must be posted for
each remote connected mode peer, which means that total memory usage
is potentially much higher than when using SRQs. To manage this, add
a new module parameter "max_nonsrq_conn_qp" that limits the number of
connections allowed per interface.
The rest of the changes are fairly straightforward: we use a table of
struct ipoib_cm_rx to hold all the active connections, and put the
table index of the connection in the high bits of receive WR IDs.
This is needed because we cannot rely on the struct ib_wc.qp field for
non-SRQ receive completions. Most of the rest of the changes just
test whether or not an SRQ is available, and post receives or find
received packets in the right place depending on the answer.
Cleaning up dead connections actually becomes simpler, because we do
not have to do the "last WQE reached" dance that is required to
destroy QPs attached to an SRQ. We just move the QP to the error
state and wait for all pending receives to be flushed.
