[PATCH mlx5-next 00/10] mlx5: Move data direct infrastructure to mlx5_core

Hi,

Data direct support currently lives in mlx5_ib, which owns the data
direct PCI driver, device matching and resource management. To prepare
for data direct support in netdev, move this infrastructure to mlx5_core
and provide a common interface for its consumers.

The series first replaces the direct IB unbind callback with a blocking
notifier chain, allowing multiple consumers to receive unbind events.
It then separates consumer registration from initialization,
consolidates the per-device state and resources, and keeps IB-specific
locking and MR teardown in mlx5_ib.

With these preparations in place, the final patch moves the shared
implementation and PCI driver to mlx5_core. Data direct initialization
and resource creation run during core load, before consumers attach;
cleanup runs during core unload, after consumers detach.

The data direct PCI driver is also explicitly named "mlx5_dd", replacing
the previous "mlx5_ib" name derived from KBUILD_MODNAME.

This series by Dragos prepares the shared infrastructure for netdev
support.  The netdev consumer will follow in a separate series.

Regards,
Tariq

Dragos Tatulea (10):
  RDMA/mlx5: Notify data direct users via a notifier chain on unbind
  RDMA/mlx5: Add mlx5_data_direct_supported() helper
  RDMA/mlx5: Make the data direct VUID query self-contained
  RDMA/mlx5: Give the data direct PCI driver a proper name
  RDMA/mlx5: Move and rename data direct resource functions
  RDMA/mlx5: Add new registration stage for data direct users
  RDMA/mlx5: Extract IB specific lock out of data direct
  RDMA/mlx5: Consolidate data direct state into one object
  RDMA/mlx5: Pull data_direct resource creation in init phase
  mlx5: Move data direct implementation to mlx5_core
