Steve Wise a2bfd708b1 RDMA/iwpm: move kdoc comments to functions
Move the iwpm kdoc comments from the prototype declarations to above
the function bodies.  There are no functional changes in this patch.

Steve Wise b0bad9ad51 RDMA/IWPM: Support no port mapping requirements
A soft iwarp driver that uses the host TCP stack via a kernel mode socket
does not need port mapping.  In fact, if the port map daemon, iwpmd, is
running, then iwpmd must not try and create/bind a socket to the actual
port for a soft iwarp connection, since the driver already has that socket
bound.

Yet if the soft iwarp driver wants to interoperate with hard iwarp devices
that -are- using port mapping, then the soft iwarp driver's mappings still
need to be maintained and advertised by the iwpm protocol.

This patch enhances the rdma driver<->iwcm interface to allow an iwarp
driver to specify that it does not want port mapping.  The iwpm
kernel<->iwpmd interface is also enhanced to pass up this information on
map requests.

Care is taken to interoperate with the current iwpmd version (ABI version
3) and only use the new NL attributes if iwpmd supports ABI version 4.

The ABI version define has also been created in rdma_netlink.h so both
kernel and user code can share it.  The iwcm and iwpmd negotiate the ABI
version to use with a new HELLO netlink message.

Tatyana Nikolova 6eec177461 RDMA/core: Enable the iWarp Port Mapper to provide the actual address of the connecting peer to its clients
Add functionality to enable the port mapper on the passive side to provide to its
clients the actual (non-mapped) ip/tcp address information of the connecting peer

1) Adding remote_info_cb() to process the address info of the connecting peer
   The address info is provided by the user space port mapper service when
   the connection is initiated by the peer
2) Adding a hash list to store the remote address info
3) Adding functionality to add/remove the remote address info
   After the info has been provided to the port mapper client,
   it is removed from the hash list

Tatyana Nikolova 30dc5e63d6 RDMA/core: Add support for iWARP Port Mapper user space service
This patch adds iWARP Port Mapper (IWPM) Version 2 support.  The iWARP
Port Mapper implementation is based on the port mapper specification
section in the Sockets Direct Protocol paper -
http://www.rdmaconsortium.org/home/draft-pinkerton-iwarp-sdp-v1.0.pdf

Existing iWARP RDMA providers use the same IP address as the native
TCP/IP stack when creating RDMA connections.  They need a mechanism to
claim the TCP ports used for RDMA connections to prevent TCP port
collisions when other host applications use TCP ports.  The iWARP Port
Mapper provides a standard mechanism to accomplish this.  Without this
service it is possible for RDMA application to bind/listen on the same
port which is already being used by native TCP host application.  If
that happens the incoming TCP connection data can be passed to the
RDMA stack with error.

The iWARP Port Mapper solution doesn't contain any changes to the
existing network stack in the kernel space.  All the changes are
contained with the infiniband tree and also in user space.

The iWARP Port Mapper service is implemented as a user space daemon
process.  Source for the IWPM service is located at
http://git.openfabrics.org/git?p=~tnikolova/libiwpm-1.0.0/.git;a=summary

The iWARP driver (port mapper client) sends to the IWPM service the
local IP address and TCP port it has received from the RDMA
application, when starting a connection.  The IWPM service performs a
socket bind from user space to get an available TCP port, called a
mapped port, and communicates it back to the client.  In that sense,
the IWPM service is used to map the TCP port, which the RDMA
application uses to any port available from the host TCP port
space. The mapped ports are used in iWARP RDMA connections to avoid
collisions with native TCP stack which is aware that these ports are
taken. When an RDMA connection using a mapped port is terminated, the
client notifies the IWPM service, which then releases the TCP port.

The message exchange between the IWPM service and the iWARP drivers
(between user space and kernel space) is implemented using netlink
sockets.

1) Netlink interface functions are added: ibnl_unicast() and
   ibnl_mulitcast() for sending netlink messages to user space

2) The signature of the existing ibnl_put_msg() is changed to be more
   generic

3) Two netlink clients are added: RDMA_NL_NES, RDMA_NL_C4IW
   corresponding to the two iWarp drivers - nes and cxgb4 which use
   the IWPM service

4) Enums are added to enumerate the attributes in the netlink
   messages, which are exchanged between the user space IWPM service
   and the iWARP drivers
