contrib/rdmacm-mux: Add implementation of RDMA User MAD multiplexer
RDMA MAD kernel module (ibcm) disallow more than one MAD-agent for a given MAD class. This does not go hand-by-hand with qemu pvrdma device's requirements where each VM is MAD agent. Fix it by adding implementation of RDMA MAD multiplexer service which on one hand register as a sole MAD agent with the kernel module and on the other hand gives service to more than one VM. Design Overview: Reviewed-by: Shamir Rabinovitch <shamir.rabinovitch@oracle.com> ---------------- A server process is registered to UMAD framework (for this to work the rdma_cm kernel module needs to be unloaded) and creates a unix socket to listen to incoming request from clients. A client process (such as QEMU) connects to this unix socket and registers with its own GID. TX: ---- When client needs to send rdma_cm MAD message it construct it the same way as without this multiplexer, i.e. creates a umad packet but this time it writes its content to the socket instead of calling umad_send(). The server, upon receiving such a message fetch local_comm_id from it so a context for this session can be maintain and relay the message to UMAD layer by calling umad_send(). RX: ---- The server creates a worker thread to process incoming rdma_cm MAD messages. When an incoming message arrived (umad_recv()) the server, depending on the message type (attr_id) looks for target client by either searching in gid->fd table or in local_comm_id->fd table. With the extracted fd the server relays to incoming message to the client.
