The intent of using the ib_send_wr structure is to allow posting MADs directly onto the QP, without the access layer needing to translate from one work request type structure to another. If there's not a reasonably clean way to reuse the work request structure, we can create a new ib_send_mad_wr structure, push address handle creation into the MAD layer, or do something else. I need to reread through this mail thread, because I do not understand what the issue is yet. What is a client of the MAD API missing in order to post to the QP? _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
