[PATCH rdma-next 00/14] Refactor ib_uverbs_write path

[Leon Romanovsky <leon-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

Hi,

This series comes as an outcome of [1] which was sent to rdma-rc
and it should be applied on top of that patch.

During review process of that patch, we realized that the
ib_uverbs_write() has number of flaws and this series
tries to fix them:
1. Localize all processing and verification code in specific functions.
2. Fix the command mask insufficient checks.
3. Simplify code to allow drop uverbs_ex_mask and in the future we
   will drop uverbs_mask too.
4. Fix differences in error codes.

Thanks
