>The idea of having a winverbs kernel interface was brought up at the last WWG >call. I just wanted to get more information on the request.
I haven't seen any feedback on the mail list for this, and I'd like to understand the long term goal and users better before spending too much time on this. It should be possible to provide a kernel level winverbs interface. Such an interface would be derived from the userspace winverbs interface, but using the winsock kernel interface as a guide. Support for 'verbs' only calls is probably doable within a WinOF 2.2 timeframe. Support for CM related calls would take longer. I'm not sure, but I think the IWVProvider interfaces would be eliminated in the kernel. All calls would be bound to a specific device. This means that kernel level RDMA CM support would differ from userspace or Linux in that wildcard listens would not be directly supported. - Sean _______________________________________________ ofw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ofw
