Merge branch 'mlx5-devx' into wip/dl-for-next
From Yishai,
-----------------------------------
This series enriches DEVX support in few aspects: it enables interoperability
between DEVX and verbs and improves mechanism for controlling privileged DEVX
commands.
The first patch updates mlx5 ifc file.
Next 3 patches enable modifying and querying verbs objects via the DEVX
interface.
To achieve that the core layer introduced the 'UVERBS_IDR_ANY_OBJECT' type
to match any IDR object. Once it's used by some driver's method, the
infrastructure skips checking for the IDR type and it becomes the driver
handler responsibility.
The DEVX methods of modify and query were changed to get any object type via
the 'UVERBS_IDR_ANY_OBJECT' mechanism. The type checking is done per object as
part of the driver code.
The next 3 patches introduce more robust mechanism for controlling privileged
DEVX commands. The responsibility to block/allow per command was moved to be
done in the firmware based on the UID credentials that the driver reports upon
user context creation. This enables more granularity per command based on the
device security model and the user credentials.
In addition, by introducing a valid range for 'general commands' we prevent the
need to touch the driver's code any time that a new future command will be
added.
The last patch fixes the XRC verbs flow once a DEVX context is used. This is
needed as XRCD is some shared kernel resource and as such a kernel UID (=0)
should be used in its related resources.
Thanks
Yishai Hadas
