RDMA/srp: Add parse function for maximum initiator to target IU size
According to SRP specifications 'srp-r16a' and 'srp2r06', IOControllerProfile attributes for SRP target port include the maximum initiator to target IU size. SRP connection daemons, such as srp_daemon, can get the value from the subnet manager. The SRP connection daemon can pass this value to kernel. This patch adds a parse function for it. Upstream commit [1] enables the kernel parameter, 'use_imm_data', by default. [1] also use (8 * 1024) as the default value for kernel parameter 'max_imm_data'. With those default values, the maximum initiator to target IU size will be 8260. In case the SRPT modules, which include the in-tree 'ib_srpt.ko' module, do not support SRP-2 'immediate data' feature, the default maximum initiator to target IU size is significantly smaller than 8260. For 'ib_srpt.ko' module, which built from source before [2], the default maximum initiator to target IU is 2116. [1] introduces a regression issue for old srp targets with default kernel parameters, as the connection will be rejected because of a too large maximum initiator to target IU size.
