Shouldn't the return type of the above function be "bool" instead of
"int" ? Also, the "? 1 : 0" part at the end of the above expression
looks superfluous to me.

Mentioning in the comment block that (according to IBTA) PSNs are
24-bit quantities would help IMHO.

Since the ib_rxe kernel module can be used in combination with other
network drivers than only Ethernet drivers, the number of bytes stored
in ll_addr[] by init_av() depends on the link layer type. Shouldn't
the address length be stored in this structure too ?

+	u32			ack_length;
+	u32			ssn;
+	u32			has_rd_atomic;
+	struct rxe_dma_info	dma;	/* must go last */
+};

Can't librxe use this header file instead of duplicating the above definition ?

+struct rxe_port {
+	struct ib_port_attr	attr;
+	u16			*pkey_tbl;
+	__be64			*guid_tbl;
+	__be64			subnet_prefix;
+

+	/* TODO */
+
+	spinlock_t		port_lock;
+
+	unsigned int		mtu_cap;
+
+	/* special QPs */
+	u32			qp_smi_index;
+	u32			qp_gsi_index;
+};

Regarding the "to do" item above: is rate control something planned
for the first submission of this driver ?
