102P_Key Index Handling
103
104 The old ib_umad interface did not allow setting the P_Key index for
105 MADs that are sent and did not provide a way for obtaining the P_Key
106 index of received MADs. A new layout for struct ib_user_mad_hdr
107 with a pkey_index member has been defined; however, to preserve
108 binary compatibility with older applications, this new layout will
109 not be used unless the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl is called
110 before a file descriptor is used for anything else.
111
112 In September 2008, the IB_USER_MAD_ABI_VERSION will be incremented
113 to 6, the new layout of struct ib_user_mad_hdr will be used by
114 default, and the IB_USER_MAD_ENABLE_PKEY ioctl will be removed.
