Guy Levi 20e5a59b2e IB/mlx5: Use fragmented SRQ's buffer for in-kernel users
The current implementation of create SRQ requires contiguous memory, such
a requirement is problematic once the memory is fragmented or the system
is low in memory, it causes failures in dma_zalloc_coherent().

This patch takes the advantage of the new mlx5_core API which allocates a
fragmented buffer, and makes the SRQ creation much more resilient to
memory fragmentation. Data-path code was adapted to the fact that WQEs can
cross buffers.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
