ib_create_rwq_ind_table verb allows creating indirection table. I assume it allows creating multiple such tables. If it is so, than number of tables should be a cgroup resource that we can add in follow on patch. By doing so, one container doesn't takeaway all the tables. > > >> Or Patch is good to go? >> >> 4.8 dates are close by (2 weeks) and there are two git trees involved >> (that might cause merge error to Linus) so if there are no issues, I >> would like to make request to Doug to consider it for 4.8 early on. >> >> Parav >> >> On Mon, Sep 12, 2016 at 10:37 AM, Leon Romanovsky <l...@kernel.org> wrote: >>> >>> On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 11:52:35AM -0600, Jason Gunthorpe wrote: >>>> >>>> On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 07:24:45PM +0200, Christoph Hellwig wrote: >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> I've posted some initial work toward a) a while ago, and once we >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> Did it get merged?
