How does RoCE v2 not break every app? It does not break every app, the choice of which GID type to use is made by the RDMA-CM based on network topology hint obtained from the IP stack. Please refer to patch 15/33: IB/Core: Changes to the IB Core infrastructure for RoCEv2 support. Of course, if the user does not want to go with this choice made by the RDMA-CM, then there is the option of overriding it using the configfs patch (PATCH 14/33) Hope that clarifies?
