mlx5_core_create_{cq/dct} functions are non-trivial mlx5 commands
functions. They check command execution status themselves and hide
valuable FW failure information.
For mlx5_core/eth kernel user this is what we actually want, but for a
devx/rdma user the hidden information is essential and should be propagated
up to the caller, thus we convert these commands to use mlx5_cmd_do
to return the FW/driver and command outbox status as is, and let the caller
decide what to do with it.
For kernel callers of mlx5_core_create_{cq/dct} or those who only care about
the binary status (FAIL/SUCCESS) they must check status themselves via
mlx5_cmd_check() to restore the current behavior.
err = mlx5_create_cq(in, out)
err = mlx5_cmd_check(err, in, out)
if (err)
// handle err
For DEVX users and those who care about full visibility, They will just
propagate the error to user space, and app can check if err == -EREMOTEIO,
then outbox.{status,syndrome} are valid.
API Note:
mlx5_cmd_check() must be used by kernel users since it allows the driver
to intercept the command execution status and return a driver simulated
status in case of driver induced error handling or reset/recovery flows.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
