Jack Morgenstein 65be9cbe12 RDMA/uverbs: Expand primary and alt AV port checks
commit addb8a6559 upstream.

The commit cited below checked that the port numbers provided in the
primary and alt AVs are legal.

That is sufficient to prevent a kernel panic. However, it is not
sufficient for correct operation.

In Linux, AVs (both primary and alt) must be completely self-described.
We do not accept an AV from userspace without an embedded port number.
(This has been the case since kernel 3.14 commit dbf727de74
("IB/core: Use GID table in AH creation and dmac resolution")).

For the primary AV, this embedded port number must match the port number
specified with IB_QP_PORT.

We also expect the port number embedded in the alt AV to match the
alt_port_num value passed by the userspace driver in the modify_qp command
base structure.

Add these checks to modify_qp.

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
