Chuck Lever ba69cd122e xprtrdma: Remove support for FMR memory registration
FMR is not supported on most recent RDMA devices. It is also less
secure than FRWR because an FMR memory registration can expose
adjacent bytes to remote reading or writing. As discussed during the
RDMA BoF at LPC 2018, it is time to remove support for FMR in the
NFS/RDMA client stack.

Note that NFS/RDMA server-side uses either local memory registration
or FRWR. FMR is not used.

There are a few Infiniband/RoCE devices in the kernel tree that do
not appear to support MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS (FRWR), and therefore will
not support client-side NFS/RDMA after this patch. These are:

 - mthca
 - qib
 - hns (RoCE)

Users of these devices can use NFS/TCP on IPoIB instead.

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.
