Israel Rukshin e9a53e73a2 RDMA/rw: Use IB_WR_REG_MR_INTEGRITY for PI handover
Replace the old signature handover API with the new one. The new API
simplifes PI handover code complexity for ULPs and improve performance.
For RW API it will reduce the maximum number of work requests per task
and the need of dealing with multiple MRs (and their registrations and
invalidations) per task. All the mappings and registration of the data
and the protection buffers is done by the LLD using a single WR and a
special MR type (IB_MR_TYPE_INTEGRITY) for the PI handover operation.

The setup of the tested benchmark (using iSER ULP):
 - 2 servers with 24 cores (1 initiator and 1 target)
 - ConnectX-4/ConnectX-5 adapters
 - 24 target sessions with 1 LUN each
 - ramdisk backstore
 - PI active

Performance results running fio (24 jobs, 128 iodepth) using
write_generate=1 and read_verify=1 (w/w.o patch):

bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1243.3K/1182.3K    1725.1K/1680.2K
4k    571233/528835      743293/748259
32k   72388/71086        71789/93573

Using write_generate=0 and read_verify=0 (w/w.o patch):
bs      IOPS(read)        IOPS(write)
----    ----------        ----------
512   1572.1K/1427.2K    1823.5K/1724.3K
4k    921992/916194      753772/768267
32k   75052/73960        73180/95484

There is a performance degradation when writing big block sizes.
Degradation is caused by the complexity of combining multiple
indirections and perform RDMA READ operation from it. This will be
fixed in the following patches by reducing the indirections if
possible.

README

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.
