This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/5.4.0-97.110 kernel in
-proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug
with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag
'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem
still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to
'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Include Infiniband Peer Memory interface

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The peer_memory_client scheme allows a driver to register with the ib_umem 
system that it has the ability to understand user virtual address ranges that 
are not compatible with get_user_pages(). For instance VMAs created with 
io_remap_pfn_range(), or other driver special VMA.
      
  For ranges the interface understands it can provide a DMA mapped sg_table for 
use by the ib_umem, allowing user virtual ranges that cannot be supported by 
get_user_pages() to be used as umems for RDMA.
      
  This is designed to preserve the kABI, no functions or structures are 
changed, only new symbols are added:

   ib_register_peer_memory_client
   ib_unregister_peer_memory_client
   ib_umem_activate_invalidation_notifier
   ib_umem_get_peer

  And a bitfield in struct ib_umem uses more bits.

  This interface is compatible with the two out of tree GPU drivers:

   https://github.com/Mellanox/nv_peer_memory/blob/master/nv_peer_mem.c
