Currently there is inconsistency in the naming of the RoCE technology. 12:27:35 > grep -r roce drivers/infiniband | grep -v Binary | grep -i -v proce | wc -l 85 All in the driver code. 12:27:48 > grep -r iboe drivers/infiniband | grep -v Binary | wc -l 130 Mainly in the core and mlx4 driver. This patch was to clean up the management helper function as a general move toward standardizing on roce rather than iboe. Most people in the community refer to this as "RoCE" so that name was chosen to move to. > > IBoE is used throughout the IB/RDMA subsystem. > > Changing only these occurences is rather inconsistent. > I asked about changing all the references and Doug mentioned he would make a patch to change the other references. Personally I don't want to see a massive rename patch but this could be done. Ira
