Instead of leaving orphaned MRs to be released when the transport is destroyed, release them immediately. The MR free list can now be replenished if it becomes exhausted.

Frequent MR list exhaustion can impact I/O throughput, so enough MRs are always created during transport set-up to prevent running out. This means more MRs are created than most workloads need. Commit 94f58c58 ("xprtrdma: Allow Read list and Reply chunk simultaneously") introduced support for sending two chunk lists per RPC, which consumes more MRs per RPC. Instead of trying to provision more MRs, introduce a mechanism for allocating MRs on demand. A few MRs are allocated during transport set-up to kick things off. This significantly reduces the average number of MRs per transport while allowing the MR count to grow for workloads or devices that need more MRs. FRWR with mlx4 allocated almost 400 MRs per transport before this patch. Now it starts with 32.

Commit c93c6223 ("xprtrdma: Disconnect on registration failure") added a disconnect for some RPC marshaling failures. This is needed only in a handful of cases, but it was triggering for simple stuff like temporary resource shortages. Try to straighten this out. Fix up the lower layers so they don't return -ENOMEM or other error codes that the RPC client's FSM doesn't explicitly recognize. Also fix up the places in the send_request path that do want a disconnect. For example, when ib_post_send or ib_post_recv fail, this is a sign that there is a send or receive queue resource miscalculation. That should be rare, and is a sign of a software bug. But xprtrdma can recover: disconnect to reset the transport and start over.

Not having an rpcrdma_rep at call_allocate time can be a problem. It means that send_request can't post a receive buffer to catch the RPC's reply. Possible consequences are RPC timeouts or even transport deadlock. Instead of allowing an RPC to proceed if an rpcrdma_rep is not available, return NULL to force call_allocate to wait and try again.

No HCA or RNIC in the kernel tree requires the use of ALLPHYSICAL. ALLPHYSICAL advertises in the clear on the network fabric an R_key that is good for all of the client's memory. No known exploit exists, but theoretically any user on the server can use that R_key on the client's QP to read or update any part of the client's memory. ALLPHYSICAL exposes the client to server bugs, including: o base/bounds errors causing data outside the i/o buffer to be accessed o RDMA access after reply causing data corruption and/or integrity fail ALLPHYSICAL can't protect application memory regions from server update after a local signal or soft timeout has terminated an RPC. ALLPHYSICAL chunks are no larger than a page. Special cases to handle small chunks and long chunk lists have been a source of implementation complexity and bugs.

I found that commit ead3f26e ("xprtrdma: Add ro_unmap_safe memreg method"), which introduces ro_unmap_safe, never wired up the FMR recovery worker. The FMR and FRWR recovery work queues both do the same thing. Instead of setting up separate individual work queues for this, schedule a delayed worker to deal with them, since recovering MRs is not performance-critical.

The use of a scatterlist for handling DMA mapping and unmapping was recently introduced in frwr_ops.c in commit 4143f34e ("xprtrdma: Port to new memory registration API"). That commit did not make a similar update to xprtrdma's FMR support because the core ib_map_phys_fmr() and ib_unmap_fmr() APIs have not been changed to take a scatterlist argument. However, FMR still needs to do DMA mapping and unmapping. It appears that RDS, for example, uses a scatterlist for this, then builds the DMA addr array for the ib_map_phys_fmr call separately. I see that SRP also utilizes a scatterlist for DMA mapping. xprtrdma can do something similar. This modernization is used immediately to properly defer DMA unmapping during fmr_unmap_safe (a FIXME). It separates the DMA unmapping coordinates from the rl_segments array. This array, being part of an rpcrdma_req, is always re-used immediately when an RPC exits. A scatterlist is allocated in memory independent of the rl_segments array, so it can be preserved indefinitely (ie, until the MR invalidation and DMA unmapping can actually be done by a worker thread). The FRWR and FMR DMA mapping code are slightly different from each other now, and will diverge further when the "Check for holes" logic can be removed from FRWR (support for SG_GAP MRs). So I chose not to create helpers for the common-looking code.

Clean up: FMR is about to replace the rpcrdma_map_one code with scatterlists. Move the scatterlist fields out of the FRWR-specific union and into the generic part of rpcrdma_mw. One minor change: -EIO is now returned if FRWR registration fails. The RPC is terminated immediately, since the problem is likely due to a software bug, thus retrying likely won't help.

ib_unmap_fmr() takes a list of FMRs to unmap. However, it does not remove the FMRs from this list as it processes them. Other ib_unmap_fmr() call sites are careful to remove FMRs from the list after ib_unmap_fmr() returns. Since commit 7c7a5390 ("xprtrdma: Add ro_unmap_sync method for FMR") fmr_op_unmap_sync passes more than one FMR to ib_unmap_fmr(), but it didn't bother to remove the FMRs from that list once the call was complete. I've noticed some instability that could be related to list tangling by the new fmr_op_unmap_sync() logic. In an abundance of caution, add some defensive logic to clean up properly after ib_unmap_fmr().

The well-spotted fallocate undo fix is good in most cases, but not when fallocate failed on the very first page. index 0 then passes lend -1 to shmem_undo_range(), and that has two bad effects: (a) that it will undo every fallocation throughout the file, unrestricted by the current range; but more importantly (b) it can cause the undo to hang, because lend -1 is treated as truncation, which makes it keep on retrying until every page has gone, but those already fully instantiated will never go away. Big thank you to xfstests generic/269 which demonstrates this.

As of Xen 4.7 PV CPUID doesn't expose either of CPUID[1].ECX[7] and CPUID[0x80000007].EDX[7] anymore, causing the driver to fail to load on both Intel and AMD systems. Doing any kind of hardware capability checks in the driver as a prerequisite was wrong anyway: With the hypervisor being in charge, all such checking should be done by it. If ACPI data gets uploaded despite some missing capability, the hypervisor is free to ignore part or all of that data. Ditch the entire check_prereq() function, and do the only valid check (xen_initial_domain()) in the caller in its place.

xenbus_dev_request_and_reply() needs to track whether a transaction is open. For XS_TRANSACTION_START messages it calls transaction_start() and for XS_TRANSACTION_END messages it calls transaction_end(). If sending an XS_TRANSACTION_START message fails or responds with an an error, the transaction is not open and transaction_end() must be called. If sending an XS_TRANSACTION_END message fails, the transaction is still open, but if an error response is returned the transaction is closed. Commit 027bd7e8 ("xen/xenbus: Avoid synchronous wait on XenBus stalling shutdown/restart") introduced a regression where failed XS_TRANSACTION_START messages were leaving the transaction open. This can cause problems with suspend (and migration) as all transactions must be closed before suspending. It appears that the problematic change was added accidentally, so just remove it.
