It is but, ib_sa_device() allocates ib_sa_device worth of struct for each port without checking the rdma_cap_ib_sa().
This results into allocating 40 * 512 = 20480 rounded of to power of 2 to 32K bytes of memory for the rdma device with 512 ports.
Other modules are also similarly wasting such memory.

I am ok to fold this check at the beginning of add callback.
When 512 to 1K RoCE devices are used, they do not have SA, CM, CMA etc caps on and all the client needs to go through refcnt + xa + sem and unroll them.
Is_supported() routine helps to cut down all of it. I didn't calculate the usec saved with it.
Please let me know.
