Question:
dlist_for_each_data(driver_list, driver, struct ibv_driver) {
dev = driver->init_func(verbs_dev);
if (dev) {
dev->dev = verbs_dev;
dev->ibdev = ib_dev;
dev->driver = driver;
dlist_push(device_list, dev);
return;
}
}
Why is this done at library initialization?
Wouldnt device opening be a better place?
Am I missing something?
