Chuck Lever ce91ad1a6f rxe: IB_WR_REG_MR does not capture MR's iova field
[ Upstream commit b024dd0eba6e6d568f69d63c5e3153aba94c23e3 ]

FRWR memory registration is done with a series of calls and WRs.
1. ULP invokes ib_dma_map_sg()
2. ULP invokes ib_map_mr_sg()
3. ULP posts an IB_WR_REG_MR on the Send queue

Step 2 generates an iova. It is permissible for ULPs to change this
iova (with certain restrictions) between steps 2 and 3.

rxe_map_mr_sg captures the MR's iova but later when rxe processes the
REG_MR WR, it ignores the MR's iova field. If a ULP alters the MR's iova
after step 2 but before step 3, rxe never captures that change.

When the remote sends an RDMA Read targeting that MR, rxe looks up the
R_key, but the altered iova does not match the iova stored in the MR,
causing the RDMA Read request to fail.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
