There are three conditions that must be fulfilled in order to consider
a partition match. Those are:

     1. Both P_Keys must valid
     2. At least one must be a full member
     3. The partitions (lower 15 bits) must match

In system employing both limited and full membership ports, we see
these false warning messages:

RDMA CMA: got different BTH P_Key (0x2a00) and primary path P_Key (0xaa00)
RDMA CMA: in the future this may cause the request to be dropped

even though the partition is the same.

See IBTA 10.9.1.2 Special P_Keys and 10.9.3 Partition Key Matching for
a reference.

What is this trying to fix?

The false warning messages. The wrong way though:-)

IMHO it is a bug on the sender side to send GMPs to use a pkey that
doesn't exactly match the data path pkey.

The active connector calls ib_addr_get_pkey(). This function
extracts the pkey from byte 8/9 in the device's bcast
address. However, RFC 4391 explicitly states:

pkeys in CM come only from path records that the SM returns, the above
should only be used to feed into a path record query which could then
return back a limited pkey.

Everything thereafter should use the SM's version of the pkey.
