Configuration complexity varies depending on the requirements of the QoS
needs.
Which type of RDMA CM connections are being used (IPv4, IPv6, or native
IB) ?

Attached patch doesn't appear to relate to upstream.
It also looks incomplete to me. What invokes rdma_set_service_level ? Is
it some option in ucma.c:ucma_set_option ?
Current patch doesn't appear to me to be backward compatible. If
rdma_set_service_level is not called in flow, then SL should not be set
in SA PR query which is what happens today.
Also, if SL is set in query, you probably don't need some of the other
fields that are being set.
