IB/umad: Add support for large RMPP transfers
Add support for sending and receiving large RMPP transfers. The old
code supports transfers only as large as a single contiguous kernel
memory allocation. This patch uses linked list of memory buffers when
sending and receiving data to avoid needing contiguous pages for
larger transfers.
Receive side: copy the arriving MADs in chunks instead of coalescing
to one large buffer in kernel space.
Send side: split a multipacket MAD buffer to a list of segments,
(multipacket_list) and send these using a gather list of size 2.
Also, save pointer to last sent segment, and retrieve requested
segments by walking list starting at last sent segment. Finally,
save pointer to last-acked segment. When retrying, retrieve
segments for resending relative to this pointer. When updating last
ack, start at this pointer.
