But this makes struct ib_device much much bigger, and this structure is used in **fast** path, e.g the ULP traverses through a pointer from struct ib_device to post_send/recv, poll_cq and friends.
Umm, all the caps are appended to the end of the ib_device structure so I don't see how it will affect the fast path - am I missing something?
The networking community will let you work for 10y before they add a field to struct net_device exactly b/c of the reason I brought. Why here we can come out of the blue and add tens if not hundreds of fields to our device structure?
Keeping struct ib_device_attr embedded at the end of struct ib_device is exactly the same isn't it? -- 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
