The term "private data" is intended to convey the

The private data area is for the use of whatever client resides above the
Infiniband CM only. There is no assumption about whether that client is
middleware or an application.
By what mechanism does the listening application
delegate how much of the private data for use by
the CM for sub-dividing a listen? What does an
application do if it wishes to retain full ownership
of the private data?
An application that interfaces directly with the Infiniband CM always retains
full control of any private data. Applications that interface to middleware are
restricted by the limitations of that middleware layer.
