I am attempting to use NFS over RDMA (over infiniband), but there is some problem.  The NFS filesystem can be mounted on the client, and things will work for some time (can read, modify, etc. the files over the mount), but then (at a seemingly random time) the NFS server will dump these lines

[PATCH/RESEND] mlx4_core: module param to limit msix vec allocation

2010-07-14 Thread Arthur Kepner
The mlx4_core driver allocates 'nreq' msix vectors (and irqs), where: nreq = min_t(int, dev-caps.num_eqs - dev-caps.reserved_eqs, num_possible_cpus() + 1); ConnectX HCAs support 512 event queues (4 reserved). On a system with enough processors, we get: mlx4_core

Regarding the BW numbers: they look reasonable. You can try to improve the BW up to 3.2GB/s by increasing PCIe MTU from 128 to 256 byte. It usually requires BIOS configuration changes. Boris Shpolyansky Sr. Member of Technical Staff, Applications   Mellanox Technologies Inc. 350 Oakmead
