This is left over from the the old 2.4 AIO code. The AIO layer use to break larger AIOs into chunks, and 128K was the default size. It's used to set the size of the FMRs, so I would expect IOs larger then this to fail because the registration will fail. Since FMRs need to be a fixed size, if we wish to continue using them, we'll need to break AIOs over a certain size into multiple iocbs and advts... > I seem to have no trouble passing requests bigger than 128K to SDP: Really? I just tried it and it definetly didn't work... -Libor _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list openib-general@openib.org http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
