IB/mlx4: Don't overwrite fast registration page list when posting work request
The low-level mlx4 driver modified the page-list addresses for fast register work requests post send to big-endian, and set a "present" bit. This caused problems later when the consumer attempted to unmap the pages using the page-list (using the list addresses which were assumed to be still in CPU-endian order). Fix the mlx4 driver to allocate two buffers and use a private buffer for the hardware-format bus addresses. This patch fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571>, an NFS/RDMA server crash. The cause of the crash was found by Vu Pham of Mellanox. The fix is along the lines suggested by Steve Wise in comment #21 in bug 1571. Signed-off-by: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
