We have many cases where parts of the uapi are not supported in a driver, needs a certain protocol, or whatever. It is best to reflect this directly into the struct uverbs_api when it is built so that everything is simply blocked off, and future introspection can report a proper supported list. This is done by adding some additional helpers to the definition list language that disable objects based on a 'supported' call back, and a helper that disables based on a NULL struct ib_device function pointer. Disablement is global. For instance, if a driver disables an object then everything connected to that object is removed, including core methods.

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.
