In general I see the benefit in faster detection of wrong SM ah. Before the patch consumers need to wait for a timeout before the detection and after the patch it happens immediately on return from the function. This improves the performance of an SM failover scenario. Some applications may get the benefit above only they handle new return code (EAGAIN) specifically but this patch opens the door for such improvement. thanks MoniS _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
