The Infiniband dissector currently uses a heuristic where it attempts to parse
IBA payloads as if they contained encapsulated traffic with an Ethertype
header. While a relatively common occurrence and thus a fairly useful feature,
this heuristic in many cases causes false-positives which invoke unneeded
dissectors and generate noise in the form of unjustified "malformed packet"
errors these dissectors cause. This patch adds a checkbox to the Infiniband
preferences menu that allows users to disable this feature if desired. The
option remains on by default.
This patch is submitted on behalf of Mellanox Technologies Ltd.
