PI offload (protection information) is a feature that each RDMA provider can implement differently. Thus, introduce new device attribute to define the maximal length of the page list for PI fast registration operation. For example, mlx5 driver uses a single internal MR to map both data and protection SGL's, so it's equal to max_fast_reg_page_list_len / 2.

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.
