Hi Doug,

This series fixes two issues introduced in 4.5 after applying my
series "Raw Packet QP user-space support for mlx5".

SRQs don't use user-index, therefore the user shouldn't pass it and the
kernel shouldn't verify. The first patch fixes this by avoiding
user-index verification for non-xrc srqs.

The mlx5_ib driver fails libraries that support user-index but don't
pass it. It relies on the input length of the vendor specific part to
determine whether the user-space supports user-index.


In Legacy verbs, the given vendor specific part input length is given
including struct ib_uverbs_cmd_hdr. In contrast, extended commands
pass the same length exluding the header size.
The vendor driver doesn't know whether the command is a legacy
command or an extended command. Thus, we need to modify IB/core
in order to pass a consistent size. The second patch fixes the input
length in the IB/core and the wrong usage in the mlx5_ib.

We verified that other vendors don't use the inlen parameter and thus
won't break by this change.

Thanks,
Majd and Matan
