A soft iwarp driver that uses the host TCP stack via a kernel mode socket does not need port mapping. In fact, if the port map daemon, iwpmd, is running, then iwpmd must not try and create/bind a socket to the actual port for a soft iwarp connection, since the driver already has that socket bound. Yet if the soft iwarp driver wants to interoperate with hard iwarp devices that -are- using port mapping, then the soft iwarp driver's mappings still need to be maintained and advertised by the iwpm protocol. This patch enhances the rdma driver<->iwcm interface to allow an iwarp driver to specify that it does not want port mapping. The iwpm kernel<->iwpmd interface is also enhanced to pass up this information on map requests. Care is taken to interoperate with the current iwpmd version (ABI version 3) and only use the new NL attributes if iwpmd supports ABI version 4. The ABI version define has also been created in rdma_netlink.h so both kernel and user code can share it. The iwcm and iwpmd negotiate the ABI version to use with a new HELLO netlink message.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
