If SMI AH is not destroyed before de-allocating the PD, it would result in
non-zero PD use count when de-allocating the PD, triggering a WARN_ON() at
drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c:284 ib_dealloc_pd+0x69/0xb0 [ib_core]()
when unloading the qib driver on systems with dual-port card.
This problem has always been there in qib and was detected only after the
commit 7dd78647a2 ("IB/core: Make ib_dealloc_pd return void") introduced
a WARN_ON in ib_dealloc_pd() that triggers if a PD's use count is non-zero
before de-allocating the PD.

A race was discovred in the user SDMA code, which could result
in an process being stuck in the kernel call indefinitely in
certain error conditions.
If, during the processing of a user SDMA request, there was an
error *and* all outstanding SDMA descriptor had been completed
by the time the that error case was handled in the calling function,
the state of the packet queue would not get correctly updated
resulting in the process subsequently getting stuck, thinking that
there are more descriptors to be completed.
To handle this scenario, the driver now checks the submitted
packet count vs. the completed. If all submitted packets have also
been completed, the driver can safely free the request and signal
user level. Otherwise, this will be handled by the completion
callback.

To facilitate locked page counting, the user SDMA
routines would maintain a list of io vectors, which
were freed in the completion callback and then unpin
the associated pages during the next call into the
kernel.
Since the size of this list was unbounded, doing this
was bad for performance because the driver ended up
spending too much time freeing the io vectors.
This commit changes how the io vector freeing is done
by moving the actual page unpinning in the callback and
maintaining a count of unpinned pages. This count can
then be used during the next call into the kernel to
update the mm->pinned_vm variable (since that requires
process context and the ability to sleep.)

Copy the last 8 bytes of user mode RC WRITE_ONLY and WRITE_LAST
opcodes separately from the rest of the data.
It is a de-facto standard for some MPI implementations to use a
poll on the last few bytes of a verbs message to indicate that
the message has been received rather than follow the required
function method. The driver uses the kernel memcpy routine, which
becomes "rep movsb" on modern machines. This copy, while very
fast, does not guarantee in-order copy completion and the result
is an occasional perceived corrupted packet. Avoid the issue by
splitting the last 8 bytes to copy from the verbs opcodes where it
matters and performing an in-order byte copy.

To ensure correct operation between the driver and PSM
with respect to managing the SDMA request ring, it is
important that the status for a particular request slot
is set at the correct time. Otherwise, PSM can get out
of sync with the driver, which could lead to hangs or
errors on new requests.
Properly determining of when to set the error status of
a SDMA slot depends on knowing exactly when the last txreq
for that request has been completed. This in turn requires
that the driver knows exactly how many requests have been
generated and how many of those requests have been successfully
submitted to the SDMA queue.
The previous implementation of the mid-layer SDMA API did not
provide a way for the caller of sdma_send_txlist() to know how
many of the txreqs in the input list have actually been submitted
without traversing the list and counting. Since sdma_send_txlist()
already traverses the list in order to process it, requiring
such traversal in the caller is completely unnecessary. Therefore,
it is much easier to enhance sdma_send_txlist() to return the
number of successfully submitted txreqs.
This, in turn, allows the caller to accurately determine the
progress of the SDMA request and, therefore, correctly set the
error status at the right time.
