RPMA Version 1.2.0

Added

• native atomic write support (required support in the kernel and in an RNIC's driver)
• security warnings to the documentation of the following functions of the API:
  • rpma_conn_get_private_data()
  • rpma_conn_req_get_private_data()
  • rpma_mr_get_descriptor()
  • rpma_mr_remote_from_descriptor()
  • rpma_peer_cfg_from_descriptor()
  • rpma_peer_cfg_get_descriptor()
• offset of the beginning of the used persistent memory in the clients using PMem in the examples
• one suppression for Memcheck on Ubuntu 22.04
• CI Coverity build run once a day over the night
• a check for the native atomic write support in libibverbs
• internal APIs:
  • rpma_utils_ibv_context_is_atomic_write_capable() - checks if kernel supports native atomic write
• Rocky Linux 8 and 9 builds to the "on_pull_request" workflow
• show git diff of changed documentation when pull requests with updated documentation are not generated

Fixed

• DEVELOPMENT.md file - CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE must be set to Debug when running the tests
• build system for CentOS 7 (use cmake3 instead of cmake if a version of cmake is v2.x)
• check-headers.sh file - corrected the path of check-ms-license.pl and removed
  unneeded '*' at the start of the grep expressions
• (examples) use HELLO_STR_SIZE instead of KILOBYTE in case of the hello string
• the common_pmem_map_file_with_signature_check() function in examples
• wr passed to ibv_post_send(), ibv_post_recv() and ibv_post_srq_recv() is initialized to 0
• sge passed to a log message (in rpma_mr_*() functions) is initialized to 0
• rq_size in rpma_peer_create_srq() initialized to 0
• detecting no free slot for a new connection request in example 13
• memory allocations in example 07
• minor issues detected by Coverity
• sleep(1) added to mtt_client_connect() before the next connection retry

Changed

• the default 'master' branch has been renamed to 'main'
• logging of the source and the destination GID addresses in rpma_conn_req_new_from_id()
  has been restricted to only one case when CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE is set to 'Debug'
• rpma_peer_new() to check the native atomic write support in kernel
• rpma_peer_setup_qp() to enable native atomic write if both kernel and libibverbs supported it
• rpma_mr_atomic_write() to use native atomic write if the created QP supported it
• only the labeled (latest/stable/rolling etc.) versions of docker images (if available) are used in CI - it makes the CI self-updating

Removed

• whole benchmarking framework for librpma (the last commit with the benchmarking framework present is marked with the "benchmarking-framework" tag)
• unused doc_snippets
• meaningless template-example
• meaningless template unit test
• Debian 10 from the on_pull_request CI workflow
