In the current implementation, the driver tries to allocate contiguous memory, and if it fails, it falls back to 4K fragmented allocation. Once the memory is fragmented, the first allocation might take a lot of time, and even fail, which can cause connection failures. This patch changes the logic to always allocate with 4K granularity, since it's more robust and more likely to succeed. This patch was tested with Lustre and no performance degradation was observed. Note: This commit eliminates the "shrinking WQE" feature. This feature depended on using vmap to create a virtually contiguous send WQ. vmap use was abandoned due to problems with several processors (see the commit cited below). As a result, shrinking WQE was available only with physically contiguous send WQs. Allocating such send WQs caused the problems described above. Therefore, as a side effect of eliminating the use of large physically contiguous send WQs, the shrinking WQE feature became unavailable.
