Yep - and that same app can, today, delete the multicast groups used by ipoib. As long as a MAD can actually be sent out of QP1, we have this problem. The existing APIs were not ignored. The ib_multicast module makes direct calls to ib_sa. > No you are forcing every kernel client out there to do another unneeded > migration to the new API and still not protect it correctly against multicast > disconnects. There's exactly 1 kernel client that uses multicast groups, and a patch was provided to migrate that client. - Sean _______________________________________________ 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
