    RDMA/ucma: Add option to manually set IB path · a7ca1f00
    Sean Hefty authored
    Export rdma_set_ib_paths to user space to allow applications to
    manually set the IB path used for connections.  This allows
    alternative ways for a user space application or library to obtain
    path record information, including retrieving path information
    from cached data, avoiding direct interaction with the IB SA.
    The IB SA is a single, centralized entity that can limit scaling
    on large clusters running MPI applications.
    
    Future changes to the rdma cm can expand on this framework to
    support the full range of features allowed by the IB CM, such as
    separate forward and reverse paths and APM.
