ibv_advise_mr(3) says:
EFAULT In one of the following: o When the range requested is out of the  MR  bounds,
       or  when  parts of it are not part of the process address space. o One of the
       lkeys provided in the scatter gather list is invalid or with wrong write access

Actually get_prefetchable_mr() will return NULL if it see above conditions

No, get_prefetchable_mr() returns NULL if the mkey is invalid

And what is this?
  1701 static struct mlx5_ib_mr *                         
  1702 get_prefetchable_mr(struct ib_pd *pd, enum ib_uverbs_advise_mr_advice advice,
  1703                     u32 lkey)

...

  1721         /* prefetch with write-access must be supported by the MR */
  1722         if (advice == IB_UVERBS_ADVISE_MR_ADVICE_PREFETCH_WRITE &&
  1723             !mr->umem->writable) {
  1724                 mr = NULL;
  1725                 goto end;
  1726         }

The above is talking about the address, which is checked inside
pagefault_mr() and does return EFAULT for all the cases I can see?
