Introduce rdma_rw_ctx_dma_init() and rdma_rw_ctx_dma_destroy() which
peform the same operation as rdma_rw_ctx_init() and
rdma_rw_ctx_destroy() respectively except they operate on a DMA
address and length instead of an SGL.

This will be used for struct page-less P2PDMA, but there's also
been opinions expressed to migrate away from SGLs and struct
pages in the RDMA APIs and this will likely fit with that
effort.

Why not keep the same basic signature here but replace the scatterlist
with the dma vec ?

This needs to fail if the driver is one of the few that require
struct page to work..

Really want I want to do is to have this new 'dma vec' pushed through
the RDMA APIs so we know that if a driver is using the dma vec
interface it is struct page free.

This is not so hard to do, as most drivers are already struct page
free, but is pretty much blocked on needing some way to go from the
block layer SGL world to the dma vec world that does not hurt storage
performance.

I am hoping that the biovec dma mapping that CH has talked about will
give the missing pieces.

FWIW, rdma is one of the places that is largely struct page free, and
has few problems to natively handle a 'dma vec' from top to bottom, so
I do like this approach.

Someone would have to look carefully at siw, rxe and hfi/qib to see
how they could continue to work with a dma vec, as they do actually
seem to need to kmap the data they are transferring. However, I
thought they were using custom dma ops these days, so maybe they just
encode a struct page in their dma vec and reject p2p entirely?

Could do. At the moment, I had no need for dma_vec in this interface.

Yes, right. Currently P2PDMA checks for the use of dma_virt_ops. And
that probably should also be done here. But is that sufficient? You're
probably right that it'll take an audit of the RDMA tree to sort that out.

Yeah, I know you were talking about heading this way during LSF/MM and
is partly what inspired this series. However, largely, my focus for this
RFC was the block layer to see this is an acceptable approach -- I just
kind of hacked RDMA for now.

Maybe I can end up helping with that if it helps push the ideas here
through. (And assuming people think it's an acceptable approach for the
block-layer side of things).

I think that is because you only did nvme not srp/iser :)

For this purpose I'd be fine if you added a flag to the struct
ib_device_ops that is set on drivers that we know are OK.. We can make
that list bigger over time.

Let us hope for a clear decision then

I'm not sure that's true at least for the P2P case. With P2P we are able
to  allocate one continuous region of memory for each transaction. It
would be quite weird to allocate multiple regions for a single transaction.

Ok, that would mirror what we did for the block layer. I'll look at
doing something like that in the near future.
