Currently the linking order of the infiniband, IB, modules decide in which
order the clients are attached and detached. For example one IB client may
use resources from another IB client. This can lead to a potential deadlock
at shutdown. For example if the ipoib is unregistered after the ib_multicast
client is detached, then if ipoib is using multicast addresses a deadlock may
happen, because ib_multicast will wait for all its resources to be freed before
returning from the remove method.
Fix this by using module_xxx_order() instead of module_xxx().

When receiving a PCP change all GID entries are reloaded.
This ensures the relevant GID entries use prio tagging,
by setting VLAN present and VLAN ID to zero.
The priority for prio tagged traffic is set using the regular
rdma_set_service_type() function.
Fake the real network device to have a VLAN ID of zero
when prio tagging is enabled. This is logic is hidden inside
the rdma_vlan_dev_vlan_id() function which must always be used
to retrieve the VLAN ID throughout all of ibcore and the
infiniband network drivers.
The VLAN presence information then propagates through all
of ibcore and so incoming connections will have the VLAN
bit set. The incoming VLAN ID is then checked against the
return value of rdma_vlan_dev_vlan_id().

Creating a UD address handle from user-space or from the kernel-space,
when the link layer is ethernet, requires resolving the remote L3
address into a L2 address. Doing this from the kernel is easy because
the required ARP(IPv4) and ND6(IPv6) address resolving APIs are readily
available. In userspace such an interface does not exist and kernel
help is required.
It should be noted that in an IP-based GID environment, the GID itself
does not contain all the information needed to resolve the destination
IP address. For example information like VLAN ID and SCOPE ID, is not
part of the GID and must be fetched from the GID attributes. Therefore
a source GID should always be referred to as a GID index. Instead of
going through various racy steps to obtain information about the
GID attributes from user-space, this is now all done by the kernel.
This patch optimises the L3 to L2 address resolving using the existing
create address handle uverbs interface, retrieving back the L2 address
as an additional user-space information structure.
This commit combines the following Linux upstream commits:
IB/core: Let create_ah return extended response to user
IB/core: Change ib_resolve_eth_dmac to use it in create AH
IB/mlx5: Make create/destroy_ah available to userspace
IB/mlx5: Use kernel driver to help userspace create ah
IB/mlx5: Report that device has udata response in create_ah

iWarp and RoCE in ibcore. The selection of RDMA_PS_TCP can not be used
to indicate iWarp protocol use. Backport the proper IB device
capabilities from Linux upstream to distinguish between iWarp and
RoCE. Only allocate the additional socket required for iWarp for RDMA
IDs when at least one iWarp device present. This resolves
interopability issues between iWarp and RoCE in ibcore

Change sysadmin_ag_val to unsigned long long to avoid the warning.

like other PCI network drivers. The sys/ofed directory is now mainly
reserved for generic infiniband code, with exception of the mthca driver.
- Add new manual page, mlx4en(4), describing how to configure and load
mlx4en.
- All relevant driver C-files are now prefixed mlx4, mlx4_en and
mlx4_ib respectivly to avoid object filename collisions when compiling
the kernel. This also fixes an issue with proper dependency file
generation for the C-files in question.
- Device mlxen is now device mlx4en and depends on device mlx4, see
mlx4en(4). Only the network device name remains unchanged.
- The mlx4 and mlx4en modules are now built by default on i386 and
amd64 targets. Only building the mlx4ib module depends on
WITH_OFED=YES .
