Please don't do that, it won't help for anyone, and especially for the people
who didn't hear about "ip" in 2017.
This is the standard kernel way to encourage people to use the new
interfaces...
IPoIB netlink doesn't support enhanced IPoIB device because child
device in netlink code was not allocated with rdma_alloc_netdev call
as it was done for other flows.
I don't understand, isn't this just a (bad) bug to be fixed?
Yes and we want to fix it BEFORE adding discouraging warnings.
Thanks

We plan to block ipoib_netlink in the meanwhile until we fix it.
The fix is a little tricky since the netdev is allocated in rtnl_newlink
and it should be allocated
with the new logic introduced in enhanced IPoIB, setting rn_ops,
allocating an rdma_netdev if possible.
