Hi Jason,
I see that "include/uapi/rdma" contains API that is common.

It is intended to contain *all* the uapi.

The qedr_user.h, that I assume you are referring to, is a qedr specific API.
For example, we issue the ib_copy_to_udata() on structures defined in the file.
So per my understanding it is in place.

Anything that is used with copy_to/from_user, ib_copy_to/from_udata,
etc, etc must be in a include/uapi header.

Any constant you might want to copy into your userspace provider must
be in include/uapi.

Avoid copying headers in your user space and use the standard kernel
names to access your driver's uapi.
