Revert "IB/core: Add support for extended query device caps"

2015-02-06T08:54:33+00:00

While commit 7e36ef8205ff ("IB/core: Temporarily disable
ex_query_device uverb") is correct as it makes the extended
QUERY_DEVICE uverb (which came as part of commit 5a77abf9a97a
("IB/core: Add support for extended query device caps") and commit
860f10a799c8 ("IB/core: Add flags for on demand paging support")) not
available to userspace, it doesn't address the initial issue regarding
ib_copy_to_udata() [1][2].

Additionally, further discussions around this new uverb seems to
conclude it would require a different data structure than the one
currently described in  [3].

Both of these issues require a revert of the changes, so this patch
partially reverts commit 8cdd312cfed7 ("IB/mlx5: Implement the ODP
capability query verb") and commit 860f10a799c8 ("IB/core: Add flags
for on demand paging support") and fully reverts commit 5a77abf9a97a
("IB/core: Add support for extended query device caps").

 "Last minute InfiniBand/RDMA changes for 3.19:

   - Revert IPoIB driver back to 3.18 state.  We had a number of fixes
     go into 3.19, but they introduced regressions.  We tried to get
     everything fixed up but ran out of time, so we'll try again for
     3.20.

   - Similarly, turn off the new "extended query port" verb.  Late in
     the cycle we realized the ABI is not quite right, and rather than
     freeze something in a rush and make a mistake, we'll take a bit
     more time and get it right in 3.20"

IB/core: Temporarily disable ex_query_device uverb

2015-02-03T17:29:11+00:00

Commit 5a77abf9a97a ("IB/core: Add support for extended query device caps")
added a new extended verb to query the capabilities of RDMA devices, but the
semantics of this verb are still under debate [1].

Don't expose this verb to userspace until the ABI is nailed down.
