Support receiving inbound and outbound IB path records (along with GMP PathRecord) from user-space service through the RDMA netlink channel. The LIDs in these 3 PRs can be used in this way: 1. GMP PR: used as the standard local/remote LIDs; 2. DLID of outbound PR: Used as the "dlid" field for outbound traffic; 3. DLID of inbound PR: Used as the "dlid" field for outbound traffic in responder side. This is aimed to support adaptive routing. With current IB routing solution when a packet goes out it's assigned with a fixed DLID per target, meaning a fixed router will be used. The LIDs in inbound/outbound path records can be used to identify group of routers that allow communication with another subnet's entity. With them packets from an inter-subnet connection may travel through any router in the set to reach the target. As confirmed with Jason, when sending a netlink request, kernel uses LS_RESOLVE_PATH_USE_ALL so that the service knows kernel supports multiple PRs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
