Subject: [PATCH v5 00/28] rdma/cm: Add support for native IB addressing

From: Sean Hefty <sean.hefty@...el.com>

This patch series adds support for native IB addressing to the
rdma cm.  The full patch series is available from:

        git://git.openfabrics.org/~shefty/rdma-dev.git for-next

The rdma cm is the only widely usable interface for establishing
communication over Infiniband.  Other interfaces are either privileged
(e.g. umad) or incomplete in that they do not contact the IB SA
for necessary data (e.g. ucm).  The rdma cm is the only interface
which provides support for path record queries and multicast joins.
However, users of the rdma cm interface are restricted to using IP
addresses, which must be translated into IB addresses.

Allowing the use of native IB addresses removes the requirement
for IPoIB, which in turn allows us to offload name and/or address
translation services to a user space daemon.  The primary motivation
is to support large scale fabrics, with address and name services
either cached or bypassed completely.  For example, IB GIDs are
known or the information is exchanged out of band by an MPI process
manager.  However, another use case involves load balancing software.
Currently the rdma cm cannot establish rdma connections through
a load balancer, since the IP -> GID mapping is not well defined.
An out of band mechanism could be used in such situations to
determine the correct mapping, with the rdma cm still managing
the connection.

The patch set introduces af_ib and sockaddr_ib.  The kernel
rdma_cm is updated accordingly, mainly to make its handling of
addresses more generic.  However, since sockaddr_ib is larger
than sockaddr_in6, the rdma_ucm requires changes to its user to
kernel interface.  To provide backwards compatibility, the userspace
ABI is extended to support the larger address size.

Note that this series only touches the main networking stack to
define AF_IB.
