Well is that actually true for IPoIB? It seems that I can arbitrarily attach to any partition I want without access control. In many ways some of the RDMA layers and modules are loose with security since performance is what matters mostly and deployments occur in separate production environments. We have had security issues (that not fully resolved yet) with the RDMA RPC API for years.. So maybe lets relax on the security requirements a bit?
