I think it's probably in the noise.  And anyway I don't think the
connection rate of ipoib CM is particularly important.  And we can
always optimize ib_find_pkey as part of the longer-term plan to get
rid of ib_find_cached_pkey.


rate of connections per second might be an intresting feature in the context
of doing TCP offload eg with SDP, when you want to see how many connetions
can a web server or database establish with clients in unit of time. With
the cache elimination every new connection will consume two more IB commands
(port query and pkey table read).

He seems to be saying that it's OK to introduce a window where things
fail spuriously.  I disagree.


Let it be. It makes sense to me to eliminate the cache.

Or.
