I just have a general preference for using the fast mem reg through a work queue (from BMME), since that is cleaner (eg allows deterministic unmap with local invalidate work requests, instead of having possibly still valid FMRs floating around until the batched invalidate happens) and also what all future devices should support, instead of having hacks to support the old legacy FMRs. It's not a problem for SRP (since that's really IB-only) but also I would expect iWARP devices to have better support for mem reg through work queues, so anything transport agnostic is better off avoiding FMRs. - R. -- 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
