[PATCH v2 5/8] ib_uverbs: Add padding to end align ib_uverbs_reg_mr_resp

From: Knut Omang
Date: Fri Sep 16 2016 - 14:33:35 EST


The ib_uverbs_reg_mr_resp structure was not 64 bit end aligned
as required by the protocol. This causes alignment issues
if a device specific driver needs to transfer extra response
arguments.

Avoid breaking backward compatibility by improving the handling
of the length checking in ib_uverbs_reg_mr to consider the case
where the kernel has been updated, but user space still has
the old length without padding.
