This patch mainly deletes some unused struct members for
hns_roce_ib_create_qp in order to match libhns, because
the num of struct members of hns_roce_ib_create_qp must
be the same with hns_roce_create_qp in libhns.

It is classical UAPI breakage which kernel tries to avoid.

In RDMA, we do allow rename of fields from reserved to something, but
don't allow binary layout change.

NAK to this change.

Thanks
Hi, Leon
Now there is an inconsistency between hns_roce_ib_create_qp in kernel
driver and hns_roce_create_qp in libhns as below:

struct hns_roce_create_qp {
struct ibv_create_qp ibv_cmd;
__u64 buf_addr;
__u8 log_sq_bb_count;
__u8 log_sq_stride;
__u8 reserved[5];
};
It is better to modify hns_roce_create_qp in libhns, right?
Yes, it can work, because it is user space problem, where you used wrong
structure.

Thanks
Thanks, Leon
I will pull it out off this series in patch v2.
Thanks

Wei Hu
