From: Leon Romanovsky leonro@mellanox.com Date: Sun, 24 Jun 2018 11:23:42 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/uverbs: Protect from attempts to create flows on unsupported QP
Flows can be created on UD and RAW_PACKET QP types. Attempts to provide other QP types as an input causes to various unpredictable failures.
The reason is that in order to support all various types (e.g. XRC), we are supposed to use real_qp handle and not qp handle and expect to driver/FW to fail such (XRC) flows. The simpler and safer variant is to ban all QP types except UD and RAW_PACKET, instead of relying on driver/FW.
