Hi Sean.

(First of all, thanks for applying all of the valgrind patches...)


When one calls to rdma_get_cm_event, he gets a structure of the 
rdma_cm_event.

In this structure there are 2 attributes which i want to discuss about:
* private_data
* private_data_len

It seems that when one side send to the other private data, the private 
data is correct
(i mean that the attribute private data points to a memory buffer with 
the expected data)
but the private_data_len has a fixed size (depend on the ucma function 
which was called).

1) Is this is the expected behavior?
2) can you please add entry to the man pages of this function to clarify 
this expected
     content of those attributes?

thanks
Dotan
