We have many cases where parts of the uapi are not supported in a driver,
needs a certain protocol, or whatever. It is best to reflect this directly
into the struct uverbs_api when it is built so that everything is simply
blocked off, and future introspection can report a proper supported list.
This is done by adding some additional helpers to the definition list
language that disable objects based on a 'supported' call back, and a
helper that disables based on a NULL struct ib_device function pointer.
Disablement is global. For instance, if a driver disables an object then
everything connected to that object is removed, including core methods.

The 'tree' data structure is very hard to build at compile time, and this

group everything into a neat tree structure.
Instead use a simple list to describe to input, where the list elements

This makes it clear and safe to access constants passed in from user
space. We define a consistent ABI of u64 for all constants, and verify
that the data passed in can be represented by the type the user supplies.
The expectation is this will always be used with an enum declaring the
constant values, and the user will use the enum type as input to the
accessor.
To retrieve the attribute value we introduce two helper calls - one
standard which may fail if attribute is not valid and one where caller can
provide a default value which will be used in case the attribute is not
valid (useful when attribute is optional).

Convert the ioctl method syscall path to use the uverbs_api data
structures. The new uapi structure includes all the same information, just
in a different and more optimal way.
- Use attr_bkey instead of 2 level radix trees for everything related to
attributes. This includes the attribute storage, presence, and
detection of missing mandatory attributes.
- Avoid iterating over all attribute storage at finish, instead use
find_first_bit with the attr_bkey to locate only those attrs that need
cleanup.
- Organize things to always run, and always rely on, cleanup. This
avoids a bunch of tricky error unwind cases.
- Locate the method using the radix tree, and locate the attributes
using a very efficient incremental radix tree lookup
- Use the precomputed destroy_bkey to handle uobject destruction
- Use the precomputed allocation sizes and precomputed 'need_stack'
to avoid maths in the fast path. This is optimal if userspace
does not pass (many) unsupported attributes.
Overall this results in much better codegen for the attribute accessors,
everything is now stored in bitmaps or linear arrays indexed by attr_bkey.
The compiler can compute attr_bkey values at compile time for all method
attributes, meaning things like uverbs_attr_is_valid() now compile into
single instruction bit tests.

This is similar in spirit to devm, it keeps track of any allocations
linked to this method call and ensures they are all freed when the method

Memory in the bundle is valuable, do not waste it holding an 8 byte
pointer for the rare case of writing to a PTR_OUT. We can compute the
pointer by storing a small 1 byte array offset and the base address of the
uattr memory in the bundle private memory.
This also means we can access the kernel's copy of the ib_uverbs_attr, so
drop the copy of flags as well.
Since the uattr base should be private bundle information this also
de-inlines the already too big uverbs_copy_to inline and moves
create_udata into uverbs_ioctl.c so they can see the private struct

This radix tree datastructure is intended to replace the 'hash' structure
used today for parsing ioctl methods during system calls. This first
commit introduces the structure and builds it from the existing .rodata
descriptions.
The so-called hash arrangement is actually a 5 level open coded radix tree.
This new version uses a 3 level radix tree built using the radix tree
library.
Overall this is much less code and much easier to build as the radix tree
API allows for dynamic modification during the building. There is a small
memory penalty to pay for this, but since the radix tree is allocated on
a per device basis, a few kb of RAM seems immaterial considering the
gained simplicity.
The radix tree is similar to the existing tree, but also has a 'attr_bkey'
concept, which is a small value'd index for each method attribute. This is
used to simplify and improve performance of everything in the next
patches.

This clearly indicates that the input is a bitwise combination of values
in an enum, and identifies which enum contains the definition of the bits.
Special accessors are provided that handle the mandatory validation of the
allowed bits and enforce the correct type for bitwise flags.
If we had introduced this at the start then the kabi would have uniformly
used u64 data to pass flags, however today there is a mixture of u64 and
u32 flags. All places are converted to accept both sizes and the accessor
fixes it. This allows all existing flags to grow to u64 in future without
any hassle.
Finally all flags are, by definition, optional. If flags are not passed
the accessor does not fail, but provides a value of zero.

following locking schemes:
- Call ib_uverbs_get_ucontext() under SRCU and check for failure
- Access the ucontext through an struct ib_uobject context member
while holding a READ or WRITE lock on the uobject.
This value cannot be NULL and has no race.
- Hold the ucontext_lock and check for ufile->ucontext !NULL
This also re-implements ib_uverbs_get_ucontext() in a way that is safe
against concurrent ib_uverbs_get_context() and disassociation.
As a side effect, every access to ucontext in the commands is via
ib_uverbs_get_context() with an error check, or via the uobject, so there

an array of standard UVERBS_ATTR_PTR_IN. The user-space encodes the

Use macros to make names consistent in ioctl() uAPI:
The ioctl() uAPI works with object-method hierarchy. The method part
also states which handler should be executed when this method is called
from user-space. Therefore, we need to tie method, method's id, method's
handler and the object owning this method together.
Previously, this was done through explicit developer chosen names.
This makes grepping the code harder. Changing the method's name,
method's handler and object's name to be automatically generated based
on the ids.
The headers are split in a way so they be included and used by
user-space. One header strictly contains structures that are used
directly by user-space applications, where another header is used for
internal library (i.e. libibverbs) to form the ioctl() commands.
Other header simply contains the required general command structure.

want to add their specific types, methods and attributes to let
their user-space counter-parts be exposed to some more efficient
abstractions. It means that existence of different features is
validated syntactically via the parsing infrastructure rather than
using a complex in-handler logic.
In order to do that, we allow defining features and abstractions
as parsing trees. These per-feature parsing tree could be merged

This is done by having a root specification tree per feature.

on be used in drivers as the source for their whole parsing tree.
Later on, when new features are added, these drivers could mix this root
with other customized objects.

Switch all uverbs_type_attrs_xxxx with DECLARE_UVERBS_OBJECT
macros. This will be later used in order to embed the object
specific methods in the objects as well.

In this ioctl interface, processing the command starts from
properties of the command and fetching the appropriate user objects
before calling the handler.
Parsing and validation is done according to a specifier declared by
the driver's code. In the driver, all supported objects are declared.
These objects are separated to different object namepsaces. Dividing
objects to namespaces is done at initialization by using the higher
bits of the object ids. This initialization can mix objects declared
in different places to one parsing tree using in this ioctl interface.
For each object we list all supported methods. Similarly to objects,
methods are separated to method namespaces too. Namespacing is done
similarly to the objects case. This could be used in order to add
methods to an existing object.
Each method has a specific handler, which could be either a default
handler or a driver specific handler.
Along with the handler, a bunch of attributes are specified as well.
Similarly to objects and method, attributes are namespaced and hashed
by their ids at initialization too. All supported attributes are
subject to automatic fetching and validation. These attributes include
the command, response and the method's related objects' ids.
When these entities (objects, methods and attributes) are used, the
high bits of the entities ids are used in order to calculate the hash
bucket index. Then, these high bits are masked out in order to have a
zero based index. Since we use these high bits for both bucketing and
namespacing, we get a compact representation and O(1) array access.
This is mandatory for efficient dispatching.
Each attribute has a type (PTR_IN, PTR_OUT, IDR and FD) and a length.
Attributes could be validated through some attributes, like:
(*) Minimum size / Exact size
(*) Fops for FD
(*) Object type for IDR
If an IDR/fd attribute is specified, the kernel also states the object
type and the required access (NEW, WRITE, READ or DESTROY).
All uobject/fd management is done automatically by the infrastructure,
meaning - the infrastructure will fail concurrent commands that at
least one of them requires concurrent access (WRITE/DESTROY),
synchronize actions with device removals (dissociate context events)
and take care of reference counting (increase/decrease) for concurrent
actions invocation. The reference counts on the actual kernel objects
shall be handled by the handlers.

[d] = Hash ids to groups using the high order bits
The right types table is also chosen by using the high bits from
the ids. Currently we have either default or driver specific groups.
Once validation and object fetching (or creation) completed, we call
the handler:
int (*handler)(struct ib_device *ib_dev, struct ib_uverbs_file *ufile,
struct uverbs_attr_bundle *ctx);
ctx bundles attributes of different namespaces. Each element there
is an array of attributes which corresponds to one namespaces of
attributes. For example, in the usually used case:
ctx core

The new ioctl based infrastructure either commits or rollbacks
all objects of the method as one transaction. In order to do
that, we introduce a notion of dealing with a collection of
objects that are related to a specific method.
This also requires adding a notion of a method and attribute.
A method contains a hash of attributes, where each bucket
contains several attributes. The attributes are hashed according
to their namespace which resides in the four upper bits of the id.
For example, an object could be a CQ, which has an action of CREATE_CQ.
This action has multiple attributes. For example, the CQ's new handle
and the comp_channel. Each layer in this hierarchy - objects, methods
and attributes is split into namespaces. The basic example for that is
one namespace representing the default entities and another one
representing the driver specific entities.
When declaring these methods and attributes, we actually declare
their specifications. When a method is executed, we actually
allocates some space to hold auxiliary information. This auxiliary
information contains meta-data about the required objects, such
as pointers to their type information, pointers to the uobjects
themselves (if exist), etc.
The specification, along with the auxiliary information we allocated
and filled is given to the finalize_objects function.

The ioctl infrastructure treats all user-objects in the same manner.
It gets objects ids from the user-space and by using the object type
and type attributes mentioned in the object specification, it executes
this required method. Passing an object id from the user-space as
an attribute is carried out in three stages. The first is carried out
before the actual handler and the last is carried out afterwards.
The different supported operations are read, write, destroy and create.
In the first stage, the former three actions just fetches the object
from the repository (by using its id) and locks it. The last action
allocates a new uobject. Afterwards, the second stage is carried out
when the handler itself carries out the required modification of the
object. The last stage is carried out after the handler finishes and
commits the result. The former two operations just unlock the object.
Destroy calls the "free object" operation, taking into account the
object's type and releases the uobject as well. Creation just adds the
new uobject to the repository, making the object visible to the
application.
In order to abstract these details from the ioctl infrastructure
layer, we add uverbs_get_uobject_from_context and
uverbs_finalize_object functions which corresponds to the first
and last stages respectively.
