I don't see wrappers over wrappers over wrappers. I'm not really opposed to creating a single entry point, but rather I'm not really seeing vast utility of doing so. Anybody else have an opinion?

Yes. You must have LOCAL_WRITE if you set REMOTE_WRITE.

Only the fact that the rkey of your MR setup for MRR_READ_DEST doesn't have to
be advertised to the peer application. So the peer
app doesn't know what the rkey is. But the fact is that an MR with
REMOTE_WRITE access flags can be used as the destination of
RDMA reads and RDMA writes for iWARP.

It would be excellent if this series actually went through and got rid of all the now deprecated users. This would confirm we have the right API here and prune off the old stuff. This is fairly trivial to do, I think? The goal is to make things simpler, maintaining two kernel APIs is not simpler :) Regarding Sagi's comments .. We don't have to do everything at once, a series that focuses only on the access flags seems sane to me. Sagi's idea makes a lot of sense, but maybe it should be explored along the direction Christoph has been talking about? I suggested the wrapper because it makes it very easy to force the old API out (just remove the old function call), but maybe we could move the old style access flags into a private header or something ?

So on iWarp if I want to issue a RDMA_READ then I have to allow the
far side uncontrolled write access to the same memory? Is there
something else protecting it?

Ah yes. Perhaps we need ATOMIC_SOURCE and ATOMIC_DEST. I wouldn't include it
in the SEND.

The semantics for MR access flags are not consistent across RDMA

We introduce rdma_mr_roles and rdma_mr_attributes that enumerate the
possible roles and attributes for a MR. These are documented in the
enums themselves.
New services exported:
rdma_device_access_flags() - given the intended MR roles and attributes
passed in, return the ib_access_flags bits for the device.
rdma_get_dma_mr() - allocate a dma mr using the applications intended
MR roles and MR attributes. This uses rdma_device_access_flags().
rdma_fast_reg_access_flags() - return the ib_access_flags bits needed
for a fast register WR given the applications intended MR roles and
MR attributes. This uses rdma_device_access_flags().

Perhaps you should mention that this covers all the IB_WR_SEND* opcodes
(SEND_WITH_IMM and SEND_WITH_INV). READ, WRITE and ATOMICs also have
several variants.

What about using as an lkey in an IB_WR_ATOMIC/MASKED_ATOMIC in the
ib_send_wr sge? Do you want that to be covered by RDMA_MRR_SEND?
