As far as core APIs go, the patch set introduces 2 basic additions rather than changes: - A new ABI function to resolve gids to macs - ib_get_mac() - A new kernel ib_device function to get the port transport - ib_get_port_transport(). There are no changes to the Verbs API. All the address

90% of the changes are either in the mlx4 driver, or self-contained in the rdmaoe flow of the cma, which handles rdmaoe addressing and connection setup. The rest of the changes indeed touch various locations of the stack, but they are either definitions or follow the same logic: if

In the past few months of review, the responsibility for rdmaoe addressing was moved to the rdmacm. So, any future addressing enhancements can be confined to the rdmacm module without breaking existing APIs. RFC 3041 deals with static global IP addresses on the Internet, especially for portable

FWIW: the dealbreaker for me is that we're already at 1.5rc2. By OFED's own rules, new features are not to be allowed. Or you can reset the release clock and target Jan/Feb. Mellanox already has their own OFED distribution -- since there appears to be strong desire to get this stuff
