Maybe give some thought to using a syscall interface through uverbs for some of this? IMHO, sysfs is getting out of hand for rdma: $ find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0 -type f | wc -l 660 $ strace -o /tmp/t /opt/ofa-1.5/sbin/perfquery ; grep sys/ /tmp/t | wc -l 289 That is alot of syscalls just to send two SMPs. It just seems to me there are not that many examples of APIs that require so much trundling through sysfs to do common every day application tasks.
