Extended device capability flags (device_cap_flags_ex):
.br
.TP 7
IBV_DEVICE_PCI_WRITE_END_PADDING

Indicates the device has support for padding PCI writes to a full cache line.

Padding packets to full cache lines reduces the amount of traffic
required at the memory controller at the expense of creating more
traffic on the PCI-E port.

Workloads that have a high CPU memory load and low PCI-E utilization
will benefit from this feature, while workloads that have a high PCI-E
utilization and small packets will be harmed.

For instance, with a 128 byte cache line size, the transfer of any
packets less than 128 bytes will require a full 128 transfer on PCI,
potentially doubling the required PCI-E bandwidth.

This feature can be enabled on a QP or WQ basis via the
IBV_QP_CREATE_PCI_WRITE_END_PADDING or IBV_WQ_FLAGS_PCI_WRITE_END_PADDING
flags.

.TP 7
IBV_DEVICE_CC_DMA_BOUNCE

Indicates the device is running inside a Confidential Computing (CoCo) guest
and requires DMA bounce buffering. Applications that explicitly opt in to
unprotected/shared memory allocation should create a parent domain with
IBV_PARENT_DOMAIN_INIT_ATTR_ALLOW_CC_UNPROTECTED_ALLOC, allocate buffers
through ibv_alloc_buf(), and register them with ibv_reg_buf_mr() (or
ibv_reg_mr_ex() with IBV_REG_MR_MASK_BUF).

.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.B ibv_query_device_ex()
returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).
.SH "NOTES"
The maximum values returned by this function are the upper limits of
supported resources by the device.  However, it may not be possible to
use these maximum values, since the actual number of any resource that
can be created may be limited by the machine configuration, the amount
of host memory, user permissions, and the amount of resources already
in use by other users/processes.
