I think there is some misunderstanding.
So, the attr is zeroed at init. Then it is filled with values from the user request.
With
	attr.cap.max_send_wr     = cmd->max_send_wr;
	attr.cap.max_recv_wr     = cmd->max_recv_wr;
	attr.cap.max_send_sge    = cmd->max_send_sge;
	attr.cap.max_recv_sge    = cmd->max_recv_sge;
	attr.cap.max_inline_data = cmd->max_inline_data;
or with:
	set_caps(&attr, &cap, true);

So at this moment there is a value from the user in the attr (it is not 0).
ib_create_qp_user is called with the attr.

The drivers are allowed to tune the cap values during QP create.
So I want to set it to 0 as some other provides (see pvrdma_create_qp,
rvt_create_qp, set_kernel_sq_size from mlx4).

After the driver call has happened, the modified cap value are copied to temp variable:
	resp.base.max_recv_sge    = attr.cap.max_recv_sge;
	resp.base.max_send_sge    = attr.cap.max_send_sge;
	resp.base.max_recv_wr     = attr.cap.max_recv_wr;
	resp.base.max_send_wr     = attr.cap.max_send_wr;
	resp.base.max_inline_data = attr.cap.max_inline_data;
or with:
	set_caps(&attr, &cap, false);
And then copied to the user with:
	uverbs_response(attrs, &resp, sizeof(resp));
or with
	uverbs_copy_to_struct_or_zero(attrs,
					UVERBS_ATTR_CREATE_QP_RESP_CAP, &cap,
					sizeof(cap));

Do you agree that my patch solves a problem in mana_ib (there is no problem in core)?
Or do you think that I am trying to solve non-existent problem?

Thanks
