[ Upstream commit 13ad1125b941a5f257d9d3ae70485773abd34792 ]
According to the ib spec:
If the CI supports the Base Memory Management Extensions defined in this
specification, the L_Key format must consist of:
24 bit index in the most significant bits of the R_Key, and
8 bit key in the least significant bits of the R_Key
Through a successful Allocate L_Key verb invocation, the CI must let the
consumer own the key portion of the returned R_Key
Therefore, when creating a mkey using DEVX, the consumer is allowed to
change the key part. The kernel should compare only the index part of a
R_Key to determine equality with another R_Key.
Adding capability in order not to break backward compatibility.

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.
