IB/core: Introduce signature verbs API Introduce a verbs interface for signature-related operations. A signature handover operation configures the layouts of data and protection attributes both in memory and wire domains. Signature operations are: - INSERT: Generate and insert protection information when handing over data from input space to output space. - validate and STRIP: Validate protection information and remove it when handing over data from input space to output space. - validate and PASS: Validate protection information and pass it when handing over data from input space to output space. Once the signature handover opration is done, the HCA will offload data integrity generation/validation while performing the actual data transfer. Additions: 1. HCA signature capabilities in device attributes Verbs provider supporting signature handover operations fills relevant fields in device attributes structure returned by ib_query_device. 2. QP creation flag IB_QP_CREATE_SIGNATURE_EN Creating a QP that will carry signature handover operations may require some special preparations from the verbs provider. So we add QP creation flag IB_QP_CREATE_SIGNATURE_EN to declare that the created QP may carry out signature handover operations. Expose signature support to verbs layer (no support for now). 3. New send work request IB_WR_REG_SIG_MR Signature handover work request. This WR will define the signature handover properties of the memory/wire domains as well as the domains layout. The purpose of this work request is to bind all the needed information for the signature operation: - data to be transferred: wr->sg_list (ib_sge). * The raw data, pre-registered to a single MR (normally, before signature, this MR would have been used directly for the data transfer) - data protection guards: sig_handover.prot (ib_sge). * The data protection buffer, pre-registered to a single MR, which contains the data integrity guards of the raw data blocks. Note that it may not always exist, only in cases where the user is interested in storing protection guards in memory. - signature operation attributes: sig_handover.sig_attrs. * Tells the HCA how to validate/generate the protection information. Once the work request is executed, the memory region that will describe the signature transaction will be the sig_mr. The application can now go ahead and send the sig_mr.rkey or use the sig_mr.lkey for data transfer. 4. New Verb ib_check_mr_status check_mr_status verb checks the status of the memory region post transaction. The first check that may be used is IB_MR_CHECK_SIG_STATUS, which will indicate if any signature errors are pending for a specific signature-enabled ib_mr. This verb is a lightwight check and is allowed to be taken from interrupt context. An application must call this verb after it is known that the actual data transfer has finished.
