Drivers that do not provide kernel verbs support should not be used by ib kernel clients at all. In case a device does not implement all mandatory verbs for kverbs usage mark it as a non kverbs provider and prevent its usage for all clients except for uverbs. The device is marked as a non kverbs provider using the 'kverbs_provider' flag which should only be set by the core code. The clients can choose whether kverbs are requested for its usage using the 'no_kverbs_req' flag which is currently set for uverbs only. This patch allows drivers to remove mandatory verbs stubs and simply set the callbacks to NULL. The IB device will be registered as a non-kverbs provider. Note that verbs that are required for the device registration process must be implemented. Signed-off-by: Gal Pressman <galpress@amazon.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
