>From Danit,

Packet based credit mode is an alternative end-to-end credit mode for QPs
set during their creation. Credits are transported from the responder
to the requester to optimize the use of its receive resources.
In packet-based credit mode, credits are issued on a per packet basis.

The advantage of this feature comes while sending large RDMA messages
through switches that are short in memory.

The first commit exposes QP creation flag and the HCA capability. The
second commit adds support for a new DV QP creation flag. The last
commit report packet based credit mode capability via the MLX5DV device
capabilities.

Thanks
