[PATCH 15/17] mlx4_core: reserve UARs for userspace consumers

From: Yevgeny Petrilin <hidden>
Date: 2011-03-07 14:33:24
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Eli Cohen <redacted>

Do not allow a kernel consumer to allocate a UAR to serve for blue flame if the
number of available UARs gets below MLX4_NUM_RESERVED_UARS (currently 8). This
will allow userspace apps to open a device file and run things like
ibv_devinfo.
