[PATCH rdma-next v2 04/13] RDMA/core: add the reliable unconnected queue pair type

From: Eric Davis via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Oct 19 2026 - 23:05:27 EST


From: Eric Davis <eric.davis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add IB_QPT_RU and its userspace counterpart, together with the field
layout of a reliable unconnected queue pair number used by UET.

Such a number uses all 32 bits, unlike the 24-bit InfiniBand and RoCE
one, so exempt it from the restrack assertion that no queue pair number
sets the top byte.
