From: Amir Shehata <ashehata@whamcloud.com>

map_on_demand use is ambiguous. In kernels which supported global
memory regions, map-on-demand was used to limit the number of RDMA
fragments transferred between peers. That tuanble didn't impact the
memory allocation since the maximum allowed was always allocated. It
was used however as a variable in determining max_send_wr. With the
introduction of FMR if the number of fragments exceed the negotiated
number of fragments, which is determined by the map-on-demand value,
then FMR is used because we can transfer all the fragments in one FMR
fragment.

The latest kernels have removed support for global memory regions so
the use of map-on-demand has become ineffectual. However, we need to
keep it for backwards compatibility.  The behavior has changed as
follows:

map_on_demand is a flag used to determine if we can use FMR or
FastReg. This is applicable for kernels which support global memory
regions. For later kernels this flag is always enabled, since we will
always either use FMR or FastReg For kernels which support global
memory regions map_on_demand defaults to 0 which means we will be
using global memory regions exclusively.  If it is set to a value
other than 0, then we will behave as follows:
  1. Always default the number of fragments to IBLND_MAX_RDMA_FRAGS
  2. Create FMR/FastReg pools
  3. Negotiate the supported number of fragments per connection
  4. Attempt to transmit using global memory regions only if
     map-on-demand is off, otherwise use FMR or FastReg.
  5. In case of transmitting tx with GAPS over FMR we will need to
     transmit it with multiple fragments. Look at the comments in
     kiblnd_fmr_map_tx() for an explanation of the behavior.

For later kernels we default map_on_demand to 1 and not allow it to be
set to 0, since there is no longer support for global memory regions.
Behavior:
  1. Default the number of fragments to IBLND_MAX_RDMA_FRAGS
  2. Create FMR/FastReg pools
  3. Negotiate the supported number of fragments per connection
  4. Look at the comments in kiblnd_fmr_map_tx() for an explanation of
     the behavior when transmit with GAPS verses contiguous.

This change looks strange.
With the new code: if fpo_fmr_pool is NULL, then the fpo_pool_list is
destroyed, even though fpo_is_fmr.

Are we sure that is correct??
I don't really understand this code so it might be correct, but the
change looks wrong.

Can someone please confirm that it really is right - and maybe explain
why?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

It is wrong!!! The only reason it didn't show up is that fp_fmr_pool is
very unlikely to NULL. I understand why this bug was introduced since
its desirable to reduce the indentation. This is the fault of how the
code is written. To avoid this in the future it should be written:

if (!fpo->fpo_is_fmr) {
	struct kib_fast_reg_descriptor *frd, *tmp;
	....
} else if (fpo->fmr.fpo_fmr_pool) {
	ib_destroy_fmr_pool(fpo->fmr.fpo_fmr_pool);
}

I opened a ticket for https://jira.whamcloud.com/browse/LU-11552 and 
submitted a patch - https://review.whamcloud.com/#/c/33408. To address
this.

So please remove this part from the change. We could redo the patch to
include the above or I could just send a follow up patch to make this
code clearer. I leave that up to you.

Thanks for the confirmation.
As the 'else' clause is significantly more indented than the 'then'
cause, reducing the indentation there seems gratuitous.
I've removed the offending hunk from the patch.
If you particularly want to proceed with the version below I won't
object.

Thanks for following up this side too!

+ * For kernels which support global memory regions map_on_demand defaults

+ *  2. Create FMR/FastReg pools
+ *  3. Negotiate the supported number of fragments per connection
+ *  4. Attempt to transmit using global memory regions only if
+ *     map-on-demand is not turned on, otherwise use FMR or FastReg
+ *  5. In case of transmitting tx with GAPS over FMR we will need to
+ *     transmit it with multiple fragments. Look at the comments in
+ *     kiblnd_fmr_map_tx() for an explanation of the behavior.
