Compilation of mlx5 driver without CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS generates
the following error.
on x86_64:
ld: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.o: in function `mlx5_ib_handler_MLX5_IB_METHOD_VAR_OBJ_ALLOC':
main.c:(.text+0x186d): undefined reference to `ib_uverbs_get_ucontext_file'
ld: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.o:(.rodata+0x2480): undefined reference to `uverbs_idr_class'
ld: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.o:(.rodata+0x24d8): undefined reference to `uverbs_destroy_def_handler'
This is happening because some parts of the UAPI description are not
static. This is a hold over from earlier code that relied on struct
pointers to refer to object types, now object types are referenced by
number. Remove the unused globals and add statics to the remaining UAPI
description elements.
Remove the redundent #ifdefs around mlx5_ib_*defs and obsolete
mlx5_ib_get_devx_tree().
The compiler now trims alot more unused code, including the above
problematic definitions when !CONFIG_INFINIBAND_USER_ACCESS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
