PATCH 1/2 IB/core: Add support for enhanced atomic operations

This patchset adds support for the following enhanced atomic operations:
- Masked atomic compare and swap
- Masked atomic fetch and add

These operations enable using a smaller amount of memory when using multiple locks by using portions of a 64 bit value in an atomic operation.

- Add new IB_WR_ATOMIC_MASKED_CMP_AND_SWP and IB_WR_ATOMIC_MASKED_FETCH_AND_ADD send opcodes that can be used to mark a "masked atomic compare and swap" and "masked atomic fetch and add" work request correspondingly.
- Add IB_DEVICE_MASKED_ATOMIC capability bit.
- Add mask fields to atomic struct of ib_send_wr
- Add new opcodes to ib_wc_opcode

This breaks the ability to check for a receive by testing opcode & IB_WC_RECV. Is it even necessary to define new work completion opcodes?

Just tossing this out as a possibility -- the mask itself could be used to indicate the type of operation. Kernel clients would always set the mask for all atomic operations.

Also, is there a kernel user for this functionality?

Thanks Sean,
I'll send an updated patch with the fix.

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but it looks to me more natural to use new opcodes and this way it is backward compatible.

Vladimir

RDS would make use of this.
