From Yishai:
This series enables the user space driver to ask for a dynamic UAR allocation and uses its internal BF (i.e. blue-flame) registers as part of QP creation.
The motivation behind this functionality is to let the user space driver share BF register between few QPs or to set a dedicated BF for a given QP.
The above gives an option to user space applications to utilize its resources and performance according to its needs.
For example:
An application can improve its performance by having a dedicated BF for collection of QPs that are running from the same thread and drop the need to take a lock as part of its post send flow. This is not enabled today as the kernel driver assigned BF registers in some FIFO logic and as such QPs from different threads may share same BF and as such a lock when accessing this BF will be needed.
The series consists from 3 patches:
The first patch extends the alloc context flow to be prepared for working with dynamic UAR allocations.
The second patch exposes the option to dynamic allocates a UAR. The third patch uses the given BF register from the user area as part of QP creation instead of using some arbitrary BF register.
The patches are available in the git repository at:
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git tags/rdma-next-2017-12-24-5

PATCH 1/3 IB/mlx5: Extend UAR stuff to support dynamic allocation
From: Yishai Hadas <yishaih-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/[email protected]>
This patch extends the alloc context flow to be prepared for working with dynamic UAR allocations.
Currently upon alloc context there is some fix size of UARs that are allocated (named 'static allocation') and there is no option to user application to ask for more or control which UAR will be used by which QP.
In this patch the driver prepares its data structures to manage both the static and the dynamic allocations and let the user driver knows about the max value of dynamic blue-flame registers that are allowed.
Downstream patches from this series will enable the dynamic allocation and the association as part of QP creation.

PATCH 2/3 IB/mlx5: Expose dynamic mmap allocation
In reply to a message not in the archiveFrom: Yishai Hadas <yishaih-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/[email protected]>
This patch exposes the option to dynamic allocates a UAR, this functionality will be used in downstream patch in this series as part of QP creation.
Specifically, the user space driver asks for a UAR allocation in a given page index, upon success this UAR and its bfregs can be used as part of QP creation by the user space driver.
To enable allocating more than 256 UARs the page index is encoded in an extra one byte just after the command byte.

From Yishai:
This series enables the user space driver to ask for a dynamic UAR allocation and uses its internal BF (i.e. blue-flame) registers as part of QP creation.
The motivation behind this functionality is to let the user space driver share BF register between few QPs or to set a dedicated BF for a given QP.
The above gives an option to user space applications to utilize its resources and performance according to its needs.
For example:
An application can improve its performance by having a dedicated BF for collection of QPs that are running from the same thread and drop the need to take a lock as part of its post send flow. This is not enabled today as the kernel driver assigned BF registers in some FIFO logic and as such QPs from different threads may share same BF and as such a lock when accessing this BF will be needed.The series consists from 3 patches:
The first patch extends the alloc context flow to be prepared for working with dynamic UAR allocations.
The second patch exposes the option to dynamic allocates a UAR. The third patch uses the given BF register from the user area as part of QP creation instead of using some arbitrary BF register.
