IB/hfi1: OPFN support discovery
OPFN (Omni Path Feature Negotiation) support discovery allows a RC QP to announce that it supports OPFN and also discover if OPFN is supported by the peer QP. OPFN parameter negotiation is skipped unless OPFN support is first discovered. OPFN support is announced by claiming what was the reserved bit in dword 1 of OmniPath modified base transport header in requests and responses.

+/**
+ * DOC: Omni Path Feature Negotion (OPFN)
+ *
+ * OPFN is a discovery protocol for Intel Omni-Path fabric that
+ * allows two RC QPs to negotiate a common feature that both QPs
+ * can support. Currently, the only OPA feature that OPFN
+ * supports is TID RDMA.
+ *
+ * Architecture
+ *
+ * OPFN involves the communication between two QPs on the HFI
+ * level on an Omni-Path fabric, and ULPs have no knowledge of
+ * OPFN at all.
+ *
+ * Implementation
+ *
+ * OPFN extends the existing IB RC protocol with the following
+ * changes:
+ * -- Uses Bit 24 (reserved) of DWORD 1 of Base Transport
+ * Header (BTH1) to indicate that the RC QP supports OPFN;
+ * -- Uses a combination of RC COMPARE_SWAP opcode (0x13) and
+ * the address U64_MAX (0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) as an OPFN
+ * request; The 64-bit data carried with the request/response
+ * contains the parameters for negotiation and will be
+ * defined in tid_rdma.c file;
+ * -- Defines IB_WR_RESERVED3 as IB_WR_OPFN.
+ *
+ * The OPFN communication will be triggered when an RC QP
+ * receives a request with Bit 24 of BTH1 set. The responder QP
+ * will then post send an OPFN request with its local
+ * parameters, which will be sent to the requester QP once all
+ * existing requests on the responder QP side have been sent.
+ * Once the requester QP receives the OPFN request, it will
+ * keep a copy of the responder QP's parameters, and return a
+ * response packet with its own local parameters. The responder
+ * QP receives the response packet and keeps a copy of the requester
+ * QP's parameters. After this exchange, each side has the parameters
+ * for both sides and therefore can select the right parameters
+ * for future transactions
