IB/core: Add completion queue (cq) object actions Adding CQ ioctl actions: 1. create_cq 2. destroy_cq This requires adding the following: 1. A specification describing the method a. Handler b. Attributes specification Each attribute is one of the following: a. PTR_IN - input data Note: This could be encoded inlined for data < 64bit b. PTR_OUT - response data c. IDR - idr based object d. FD - fd based object Blobs attributes (clauses a and b) contain their type, while objects specifications (clauses c and d) contains the expected object type (for example, the given id should be UVERBS_TYPE_PD) and the required access (READ, WRITE, NEW or DESTROY). If a NEW is required, the new object's id will be assigned to this attribute. All attributes could get UA_FLAGS attribute. Currently we support stating that an attribute is mandatory or that the specification size corresponds to a lower bound (and that this attribute could be extended). We currently add both default attributes and the two generic UHW_IN and UHW_OUT driver specific attributes. 2. Handler A handler gets a uverbs_attr_bundle. The handler developer uses uverbs_attr_get to fetch an attribute of a given id. Each of these attribute groups correspond to the specification group defined in the action (clauses 1.b and 1.c respectively). The indices of these arrays corresponds to the attribute ids declared in the specifications (clause 2). The handler is quite simple. It assumes the infrastructure fetched all objects and locked, created or destroyed them as required by the specification. Pointer (or blob) attributes were validated to match their required sizes. After the handler finished, the infrastructure commits or rollbacks the objects.

IB/uverbs: Add flow_action create and destroy verbs A verbs application may receive and transmits packets using a data path pipeline. Sometimes, the first stage in the receive pipeline or the last stage in the transmit pipeline involves transforming a packet, either in order to make it easier for later stages to process it or to prepare it for transmission over the wire. Such transformation could be stripping/encapsulating the packet (i.e. vxlan), decrypting/encrypting it (i.e. ipsec), altering headers, doing some complex FPGA changes, etc. Some hardware could do such transformations without software data path intervention at all. The flow steering API supports steering a packet (either to a QP or dropping it) and some simple packet immutable actions (i.e. tagging a packet). Complex actions, that may change the packet, could bloat the flow steering API extensively. Sometimes the same action should be applied to several flows. In this case, it's easier to bind several flows to the same action and modify it than change all matching flows. Introducing a new flow_action object that abstracts any packet transformation (out of a standard and well defined set of actions). This flow_action object could be tied to a flow steering rule via a new specification. Currently, we support esp flow_action, which encrypts or decrypts a packet according to the given parameters. However, we present a flexible schema that could be used to other transformation actions tied to flow rules.
