Jason Gunthorpe 09689703d2 RDMA/mlx5: Do not race with mlx5_ib_invalidate_range during create and destroy
For creation, as soon as the umem_odp is created the notifier can be
called, however the underlying MR may not have been setup yet. This would
cause problems if mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() runs. There is some
confusing/ulocked/racy code that might by trying to solve this, but
without locks it isn't going to work right.

Instead trivially solve the problem by short-circuiting the invalidation
if there are not yet any DMA mapped pages. By definition there is nothing
to invalidate in this case.

The create code will have the umem fully setup before anything is DMA
mapped, and npages is fully locked by the umem_mutex.

For destroy, invalidate the entire MR at the HW to stop DMA then DMA unmap
the pages before destroying the MR. This drives npages to zero and
prevents similar racing with invalidate while the MR is undergoing
destruction.

Arguably it would be better if the umem was created after the MR and
destroyed before, but that would require a big rework of the MR code.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
