Well is that actually true for IPoIB? It seems that I can arbitrarily
attach to any partition I want without access control. In many ways some
of the RDMA layers and modules are loose with security since performance
is what matters mostly and deployments occur in separate production
environments.
We have had security issues (that not fully resolved yet) with the RDMA
RPC API for years.. So maybe lets relax on the security requirements a
bit?
