Enrich rdmatool with an option to enable or disable privileged QKEY.
When enabled, non-privileged users will be allowed to specify a
controlled QKEY.

By default this parameter is disabled in order to comply with IB spec.
According to the IB specification rel-1.6, section 3.5.3:
"QKEYs with the most significant bit set are considered controlled
QKEYs, and a HCA does not allow a consumer to arbitrarily specify a
controlled QKEY."

This allows old applications which existed before the kernel commit:
0cadb4db79e1 ("RDMA/uverbs: Restrict usage of privileged QKEYs")
they can use privileged QKEYs without being a privileged user to now
be able to work again without being privileged granted they turn on this
parameter.

rdma tool command examples and output.

$ rdma system show
netns shared privileged-qkey off copy-on-fork on

$ rdma system set privileged-qkey on

$ rdma system show
netns shared privileged-qkey on copy-on-fork on

Elsewhere in the file, you just use print_color_on_off(), why not here?

This could use parse_on_off().

The rest of the code looks sane to me, but I'm not familiar with the
feature.

The print_color_on_off was used for copy-on-fork which as you see has no 
set function,

I was simply trying to be consistent with this file convention & style, 
whereas print_color_string was used for the other configurable value 
("netns"), I can obviously change that if you all see it as necessary.

You are absolutely correct, but just as well was trying to maintain same 
code style as the previous configurable value we have here, but I think 
using parse_on_off here can save us some code.

If no one else has any comments soon, and these two comments are 
actually considered critical I can re-send my patches with those issues 
fixed.

About this as I previously answered I don't really see a big difference 
between it and "print_color_string" but if the

maintainer thinks this is an essential change I can fix and re-send.

Thanks for the review.

More importantly I looked a bit more into it, and I prefer not to use 
it, it would also lead to additional error prints that are not 
consistent with what we previously had for this API, so I prefer to keep 
it as is , so that the error messages for all arguments of this command 
be identical.

tools packaged with iproute2 should use common code where possible.

Okay, good point, fixed both comments and sent a V2 , it actually 
resulted in a much cleaner code.
