Clean up: struct rpcrdma_mw was named after Memory Windows, but
xprtrdma no longer supports a Memory Window registration mode.
Rename rpcrdma_mw and its fields to reduce confusion and make
the code more sensible to read.
Renaming "mw" was suggested by Tom Talpey, the author of the
original xprtrdma implementation. It's a good idea, but I haven't
done this until now because it's a huge diffstat for no benefit
other than code readability.
However, I'm about to introduce static trace points that expose
a few of xprtrdma's internal data structures. They should make sense
in the trace report, and it's reasonable to treat trace points as a
kernel API contract which might be difficult to change later.
While I'm churning things up, two additional changes:
- rename variables unhelpfully called "r" to "mr", to improve code
clarity, and
- rename the MR-related helper functions using the form
"rpcrdma_mr_<verb>", to be consistent with other areas of the
code.

Clean up: Over time, the industry has adopted the term "frwr"
instead of "frmr". The term "frwr" is now more widely recognized.
For the past couple of years I've attempted to add new code using
"frwr" , but there still remains plenty of older code that still
uses "frmr". Replace all usage of "frmr" to avoid confusion.
While we're churning code, rename variables unhelpfully called "f"
to "frwr", to improve code clarity.

No need for the overhead of atomically setting and clearing this bit
flag for every use of a pre-allocated backchannel rpc_rqst. These
are a distinct pool of rpc_rqsts that are used only for callback
operations, so it is safe to simply leave the bit set.

Clean up. @rqst is set up differently for backchannel Replies. For
example, rqst->rq_task and task->tk_client are both NULL. So it is
easier to understand and maintain this code path if it is separated.

Since commit 5a6d1db45569 ("SUNRPC: Add a transport-specific private
field in rpc_rqst"), the rpc_rqst's for RPC-over-RDMA backchannel
operations leave rq_buffer set to NULL.
xprt_release does not invoke ->op->buf_free when rq_buffer is NULL.
The RPCRDMA_REQ_F_BACKCHANNEL check in xprt_rdma_free is therefore
redundant because xprt_rdma_free is not invoked for backchannel
requests.

Clean up a harmless oversight. xprtrdma's ->set_port method has

This issue has never been a problem because NFS/RDMA mounts have
always required "port=20049", thus so far, rpcbind is not invoked
for these mounts.

The backchannel code uses rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put to add new reps
to the free rep list. This also decrements rb_recv_count, which
spoofs the receive overrun logic in rpcrdma_buffer_get_rep.
Commit 9b06688bc3b9 ("xprtrdma: Fix additional uses of
spin_lock_irqsave(rb_lock)") replaced the original open-coded
list_add with a call to rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put(), but then a year
later, commit 05c974669ece ("xprtrdma: Fix receive buffer
accounting") added rep accounting to rpcrdma_recv_buffer_put.
It was an oversight to let the backchannel continue to use this
function.
The fix this, let's combine the "add to free list" logic with
rpcrdma_create_rep.
Also, do not allocate RPCRDMA_MAX_BC_REQUESTS rpcrdma_reps in
rpcrdma_buffer_create and then allocate additional rpcrdma_reps in
rpcrdma_bc_setup_reps. Allocating the extra reps during backchannel
set-up is sufficient.

Commit d8f532d20ee4 ("xprtrdma: Invoke rpcrdma_reply_handler
directly from RECV completion") introduced a performance regression
for NFS I/O small enough to not need memory registration. In multi-
threaded benchmarks that generate primarily small I/O requests,
IOPS throughput is reduced by nearly a third. This patch restores
the previous level of throughput.
Because workqueues are typically BOUND (in particular ib_comp_wq,
nfsiod_workqueue, and rpciod_workqueue), NFS/RDMA workloads tend
to aggregate on the CPU that is handling Receive completions.
The usual approach to addressing this problem is to create a QP
and CQ for each CPU, and then schedule transactions on the QP
for the CPU where you want the transaction to complete. The
transaction then does not require an extra context switch during
completion to end up on the same CPU where the transaction was
started.
This approach doesn't work for the Linux NFS/RDMA client because
currently the Linux NFS client does not support multiple connections
per client-server pair, and the RDMA core API does not make it
straightforward for ULPs to determine which CPU is responsible for
handling Receive completions for a CQ.
So for the moment, record the CPU number in the rpcrdma_req before
the transport sends each RPC Call. Then during Receive completion,
queue the RPC completion on that same CPU.
Additionally, move all RPC completion processing to the deferred
handler so that even RPCs with simple small replies complete on
the CPU that sent the corresponding RPC Call.

In testing, we found that nfsd threads may call set_groups in parallel
for the same entry cached in auth.unix.gid, racing in the call of
groups_sort, corrupting the groups for that entry and leading to
permission denials for the client.
This patch:
- Make groups_sort globally visible.
- Move the call to groups_sort to the modifiers of group_info
- Remove the call to groups_sort from set_groups

When an RPC Call includes a file data payload, that payload can come
from pages in the page cache, or a user buffer (for direct I/O).
If the payload can fit inline, xprtrdma includes it in the Send
using a scatter-gather technique. xprtrdma mustn't allow the RPC
consumer to re-use the memory where that payload resides before the
Send completes. Otherwise, the new contents of that memory would be
exposed by an HCA retransmit of the Send operation.
So, block RPC completion on Send completion, but only in the case
where a separate file data payload is part of the Send. This
prevents the reuse of that memory while it is still part of a Send
operation without an undue cost to other cases.
Waiting is avoided in the common case because typically the Send
will have completed long before the RPC Reply arrives.
These days, an RPC timeout will trigger a disconnect, which tears
down the QP. The disconnect flushes all waiting Sends. This bounds
the amount of time the reply handler has to wait for a Send
completion.

Problem statement:
Recently Sagi Grimberg <sagi@grimberg.me> observed that kernel RDMA-
enabled storage initiators don't handle delayed Send completion
correctly. If Send completion is delayed beyond the end of a ULP
transaction, the ULP may release resources that are still being used
by the HCA to complete a long-running Send operation.
This is a common design trait amongst our initiators. Most Send
operations are faster than the ULP transaction they are part of.
Waiting for a completion for these is typically unnecessary.
Infrequently, a network partition or some other problem crops up
where an ordering problem can occur. In NFS parlance, the RPC Reply
arrives and completes the RPC, but the HCA is still retrying the
Send WR that conveyed the RPC Call. In this case, the HCA can try
to use memory that has been invalidated or DMA unmapped, and the
connection is lost. If that memory has been re-used for something
else (possibly not related to NFS), and the Send retransmission
exposes that data on the wire.
Thus we cannot assume that it is safe to release Send-related
resources just because a ULP reply has arrived.
After some analysis, we have determined that the completion
housekeeping will not be difficult for xprtrdma:
- Inline Send buffers are registered via the local DMA key, and
are already left DMA mapped for the lifetime of a transport
connection, thus no additional handling is necessary for those
- Gathered Sends involving page cache pages _will_ need to
DMA unmap those pages after the Send completes. But like
inline send buffers, they are registered via the local DMA key,
and thus will not need to be invalidated
In addition, RPC completion will need to wait for Send completion
in the latter case. However, nearly always, the Send that conveys
the RPC Call will have completed long before the RPC Reply
arrives, and thus no additional latency will be accrued.
Design notes:
In this patch, the rpcrdma_sendctx object is introduced, and a
lock-free circular queue is added to manage a set of them per
transport.
The RPC client's send path already prevents sending more than one
RPC Call at the same time. This allows us to treat the consumer
side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked) as if there is a
single consumer thread.
The producer side of the queue (rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked) is
invoked only from the Send completion handler, which is a single
thread of execution (soft IRQ).
The only care that needs to be taken is with the tail index, which
is shared between the producer and consumer. Only the producer
updates the tail index. The consumer compares the head with the
tail to ensure that the a sendctx that is in use is never handed
out again (or, expressed more conventionally, the queue is empty).
When the sendctx queue empties completely, there are enough Sends
outstanding that posting more Send operations can result in a Send
Queue overflow. In this case, the ULP is told to wait and try again.
This introduces strong Send Queue accounting to xprtrdma.
As a final touch, Jason Gunthorpe <jgunthorpe@obsidianresearch.com>
suggested a mechanism that does not require signaling every Send.
We signal once every N Sends, and perform SGE unmapping of N Send
operations during that one completion.

Commit 655fec6987be ("xprtrdma: Use gathered Send for large inline
messages") assumed that, since the zeroeth element of the Send SGE
array always pointed to req->rl_rdmabuf, it needed to be initialized
just once. This was a valid assumption because the Send SGE array
and rl_rdmabuf both live in the same rpcrdma_req.
In a subsequent patch, the Send SGE array will be separated from the
rpcrdma_req, so the zeroeth element of the SGE array needs to be
initialized every time.
