From Michael: This series adds support for managing Fast Registration Memory Region (FRMR) pools in rdma tool, enabling users to monitor and configure FRMR pool behavior. FRMR pools are used to cache and reuse Fast Registration Memory Region handles to improve performance by avoiding the overhead of repeated memory region creation and destruction. This series introduces commands to view FRMR pool statistics and configure pool parameters such as aging time and pinned handle count. The 'show' command allows users to display FRMR pools created on devices, their properties, and usage statistics. Each pool is identified by a unique key (hex-encoded properties) for easy reference in subsequent operations. The aging 'set' command allows users to modify the aging time parameter, which controls how long unused FRMR handles remain in the pool before being released. The pinned 'set' command allows users to configure the number of pinned handles in a pool. Pinned handles are exempt from aging and remain permanently available for reuse, which is useful for workloads with predictable memory region usage patterns. Command usage and examples are included in the commits and man pages.
