[RFC PATCH rdma-next 0/2] RDMA/rxe: add local implicit ODP MR support

[Liibaan Egal]

This RFC adds local-access implicit On-Demand Paging memory regions to
RXE (Soft-RoCE).

RXE already supports explicit ODP MRs. The implicit registration form
(addr == 0, length == U64_MAX, IB_ACCESS_ON_DEMAND) is recognized but
not implemented: the implicit branch in rxe_odp_mr_init_user() returns
-EINVAL through a placeholder block, and no path creates child umems
for SGE accesses on an implicit MR.

This series wires the implicit registration case through
ib_umem_odp_alloc_implicit() and routes the local SGE walker through
per-chunk child umems. The chunk size is fixed at 2 MiB
(RXE_ODP_CHILD_SHIFT = 21) and children are allocated lazily on first
access via ib_umem_odp_alloc_child(), stored in a per-MR xarray.

Patches
-------

  1/2 RDMA/rxe: add local implicit ODP MR support

      Adds rxe_odp_mr_init_implicit() (rejects remote access bits with
      -EOPNOTSUPP, allocates the parent umem). Adds rxe_odp_get_child()
      and the per-chunk loop in rxe_odp_mr_copy() and the prefetch
      path. Atomic, flush and atomic-write paths reject implicit MRs
      at the top because those helpers walk mr->umem->pfn_list
      directly which is empty for an implicit parent. rxe_mr_cleanup
      walks the child xarray and releases each child before the
      parent.

      This patch leaves IB_ODP_SUPPORT_IMPLICIT unadvertised, so
      rxe_odp_mr_init_user() still returns -EINVAL on the implicit
      form. No user-visible behavior change yet.

  2/2 RDMA/rxe: advertise IB_ODP_SUPPORT_IMPLICIT for local access

      Flip the cap bit so userspace can probe support via
      ibv_query_device. Kept as its own patch so the policy question
      is separable from the implementation.

Question for reviewers
----------------------

Patch 2/2 advertises IB_ODP_SUPPORT_IMPLICIT for a local-access-only
operation matrix. Local SGE access on implicit MRs works; remote rkey
access, atomic, flush, and atomic-write on implicit MRs do not. Is
this an acceptable use of the capability bit, or should capability
exposure wait for a broader operation matrix? Splitting the cap flip
out is meant to keep that decision separable from the implementation.

Scope and limitations
---------------------

Out of scope in this series:

- Remote rkey access on implicit MRs. Rejected at registration time
  with -EOPNOTSUPP.
- Atomic, flush, atomic-write paths. These return -EOPNOTSUPP /
  RESPST_ERR_RKEY_VIOLATION on implicit MRs.
- Child reclaim. The xarray grows monotonically per MR; a child is
  not freed until MR destroy. Long-lived implicit MRs that touch a
  sparse address space accumulate children. A reclaim mechanism is
  the natural follow-up.

Tested
------

Verified on rdma/for-next at commit 7fd2df204f34 (Linux 7.1-rc2),
arm64, Soft-RoCE over loopback:

- Registration accept/reject matrix (5 cases).
- Single-chunk 64 KiB RDMA WRITE through an implicit lkey.
- Two-chunk multi-range test: two 1 MiB WRITEs from buffers in
  different 2 MiB chunks of one implicit MR.
- Cross-chunk single-SGE test: one 128 KiB WRITE whose SGE spans a
  2 MiB chunk boundary.

Each patch builds cleanly standalone (M=drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe).

Registration latency was measured for 4 KiB to 1 GiB across explicit
and implicit forms. Explicit grows with size and fails ENOMEM at 1 GiB
on a 6 GiB host. Implicit median latency stays in the low microseconds
across all sizes; peak RSS during an implicit registration stays at
the baseline, while explicit RSS climbs with the registered size. The
benchmark measures registration-time work only; it does not
characterize first-touch or steady-state data path cost. Tests, bench
and raw numbers are in the companion repository:
