[openib-general] IPoIB interface for unauthorized partition

[Hal Rosenstock]

Hi Roland,

I have a port which only has the full default partition configured but
ifconfig allows an IPoIB interface with a PKey which is not in the Pkey
table. Shouldn't the ifconfig fail for this (rather than the subsequent
ping) ?
