Since the max_inline_data is an extension, the InfiniBand spec doesn't specify the expected behavior. However, the spirit of the spec is to return a failure if not all of the requested attributes can be satisfied. > > If not > > 2) Should ibv_create_qp() be allowed to return a value less than the > value requested ?

The problem is that there isn't any description to the behavior of the low level drivers. Different low level drivers can behave differently and return different values. I tried to describe in the man pages/blog, what I think is the best behavior (and this behavior is implemented by the low level drivers of Mellanox devices).
