These are the things done today in the kernel wrt IB: * Map a local or remote IP address to a GID. * If a local address is not given, provide a usable address based on the destination address. * Acquire a path between the source and destination. * Format the first 36 bytes of private data in the CM REQ. Any or all of these could be done in user space instead. Adding AF_IB to the kernel can provide a clean way of enabling this. It can also allow full support of IB CM functionality through the RDMA CM interfaces. - Sean -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
