Based on discussion with Kate Stewart this license is not a
BSD-2-Clause, but is now formally identified as Linux-OpenIB
by SPDX.
The key difference between the licenses is in the 'warranty'
paragraph.
if_infiniband.h refers to the 'OpenIB.org' license, but
does not include the text, instead it links to an obsolete
web site that contains a license that matches the BSD-2-Clause
SPX. There is no 'three clause' version of the OpenIB.org
license.

A verbs application may receive and transmits packets using a data
path pipeline. Sometimes, the first stage in the receive pipeline or
the last stage in the transmit pipeline involves transforming a
packet, either in order to make it easier for later stages to process
it or to prepare it for transmission over the wire. Such transformation
could be stripping/encapsulating the packet (i.e. vxlan),
decrypting/encrypting it (i.e. ipsec), altering headers, doing some
complex FPGA changes, etc.
Some hardware could do such transformations without software data path
intervention at all. The flow steering API supports steering a
packet (either to a QP or dropping it) and some simple packet
immutable actions (i.e. tagging a packet). Complex actions, that may
change the packet, could bloat the flow steering API extensively.
Sometimes the same action should be applied to several flows.
In this case, it's easier to bind several flows to the same action and
modify it than change all matching flows.
Introducing a new flow_action object that abstracts any packet
transformation (out of a standard and well defined set of actions).
This flow_action object could be tied to a flow steering rule via a
new specification.
Currently, we support esp flow_action, which encrypts or decrypts a
packet according to the given parameters. However, we present a
flexible schema that could be used to other transformation actions tied
to flow rules.

The ioctl() UAPIs are meant to be used by both user-space
and kernel ioctl() handlers.
Mostly, these UAPI structs tend to consist of simple types, but
sometimes user-space pointers may be passed between user-space and
kernel. We would like to avoid dereferencing a user-space pointer in
the kernel, thus - we always define RDMA_UAPI_PTR as a __aligned_u64
type.

Use macros to make names consistent in ioctl() uAPI:
The ioctl() uAPI works with object-method hierarchy. The method part
also states which handler should be executed when this method is called
from user-space. Therefore, we need to tie method, method's id, method's
handler and the object owning this method together.
Previously, this was done through explicit developer chosen names.
This makes grepping the code harder. Changing the method's name,
method's handler and object's name to be automatically generated based
on the ids.
The headers are split in a way so they be included and used by
user-space. One header strictly contains structures that are used
directly by user-space applications, where another header is used for
internal library (i.e. libibverbs) to form the ioctl() commands.
Other header simply contains the required general command structure.

Adding CQ ioctl actions:
1. create_cq
2. destroy_cq
This requires adding the following:
1. A specification describing the method
a. Handler
b. Attributes specification
Each attribute is one of the following:
a. PTR_IN - input data
Note: This could be encoded inlined for
data < 64bit
b. PTR_OUT - response data
c. IDR - idr based object
d. FD - fd based object
Blobs attributes (clauses a and b) contain their type,
while objects specifications (clauses c and d)
contains the expected object type (for example, the
given id should be UVERBS_TYPE_PD) and the required
access (READ, WRITE, NEW or DESTROY). If a NEW is
required, the new object's id will be assigned to this
attribute. All attributes could get UA_FLAGS
attribute. Currently we support stating that an
attribute is mandatory or that the specification size
corresponds to a lower bound (and that this attribute
could be extended).
We currently add both default attributes and the two
generic UHW_IN and UHW_OUT driver specific attributes.
2. Handler
A handler gets a uverbs_attr_bundle. The handler developer uses
uverbs_attr_get to fetch an attribute of a given id.
Each of these attribute groups correspond to the specification
group defined in the action (clauses 1.b and 1.c respectively).
The indices of these arrays corresponds to the attribute ids
declared in the specifications (clause 2).
The handler is quite simple. It assumes the infrastructure fetched
all objects and locked, created or destroyed them as required by
the specification. Pointer (or blob) attributes were validated to
match their required sizes. After the handler finished, the
infrastructure commits or rollbacks the objects.

In this phase, we don't want to change all the drivers to use
flexible driver's specific attributes. Therefore, we add two default
attributes: UHW_IN and UHW_OUT. These attributes are optional in some
methods and they encode the driver specific command data. We add
a function that extract this data and creates the legacy udata over
it.
Driver's data should start from UVERBS_UDATA_DRIVER_DATA_FLAG. This
turns on the first bit of the namespace, indicating this attribute
belongs to the driver's namespace.
