in IB can be huge and ODP (on-demand paging) technique allows to use unpinned memory, which can be consumed and released on demand. This allows to applications do not pin down the underlying physical pages of the address space, and save from them need to track the validity of the mappings. Rather, the HCA requests the latest translations from the OS when pages are not present, and the OS invalidates translations which are no longer valid due to either non-present pages or mapping changes. In existing ODP implementation applications is needed to register memory buffers for communication, though registered memory regions need not have valid mappings at registration time. This patch set performs the following steps to expand current ODP implementation: 1. It refactors UMR to support large regions, by introducing generic function to perform HCA translation table modifications. This function supports both atomic and process contexts and is not limited by number of modified entries. This function allows to enable reallocated memory regions of arbitrary size, so adding MR cache buckets to support up to 16GB MRs. 2. It changes page fault event format and refactor page faults logic together with addition of atomic support. 3. It prepares mlx5 core code to support implicit registration with simplified and relaxed semantics. Implicit ODP semantics allows to applications provide special memory key that represents their complete address space. Thus all IO accesses referencing to this key (with proper access rights associated with the key) wouldn't need not register any virtual address range.
