In this case qkey also needs to be set [1].\n\nThis patch allows only UD qp_type to join multicast, and set qkey to\ndefault if it's not set, to fix an uninit-value error: the ib->rec.qkey\nfield is accessed without being initialized.\n\n=====================================================\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in cma_set_qkey drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c:510 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN:
