Commit Message

Matan Barak Sept. 28, 2016, 3:10 p.m. UTC
The new ioctl infrastructure supports driver specific objects.
Each such object type has a free function, allocation size and an
order of destruction. This information is embedded in the same
table describing the various action allowed on the object, similarly
to object oriented programming.

When a ucontext is created, a new list is created in this ib_ucontext.
This list contains all objects created under this ib_ucontext.
When a ib_ucontext is destroyed, we traverse this list several time
destroying the various objects by the order mentioned in the object
type description. If few object types have the same destruction order,
they are destroyed in an order opposite to their creation order.

Adding an object is done in two parts.
First, an object is allocated and added to IDR/fd table. Then, the
command's handlers (in downstream patches) could work on this object
and fill in its required details.
After a successful command, ib_uverbs_uobject_enable is called and
this user objects becomes ucontext visible.

Removing an uboject is done by calling ib_uverbs_uobject_remove.

We should make sure IDR (per-device) and list (per-ucontext) could
be accessed concurrently without corrupting them.
