Wouldn't it be better to check first if the device supports ODP ?
Something like:
    ret = ibv_exp_query_device(context, &dattr);
    if (dattr.exp_device_cap_flags & IBV_EXP_DEVICE_ODP)...

Also, I  am not (personally) too fond of the "on_demand" label usage here,
however I will let the maintainer/others decide.

Thanks,
Marcel
