[openib-general] Licensing for user space

After discussing it more with folks here, is seems to us that perhaps for the uDAPL user-mode library, it be provided to openib.org under a dual BSD + LGPL library rather than a BSD + GPL since people normally want to use LGPL for libraries. Why not consider a more open license still, one that a

[openib-general] [RFC] CM reject handling and redirection

2005-02-16 Thread Sean Hefty
I've started looking at the handling received rejects in the CM. Two return codes of note: * code 24 - Port and CM Redirection * code 25 - Port Redirection For the first case, it appears that the proper way to handle it is to simply expose the rejection to the user. The user would need to issu

[openib-general] Incorrect endian in GUID comparison/SM master selection

2005-02-16 Thread Brian Eng
Hello, Per the IBA spec, the selection of a master SM is determined by the GUID (lowest wins). When OpenSM does its comparison, it does not adjust for the endian of the host. For our x86 systems, this means the comparison is based on the byte-swapped value of the GUID. It looks like the patch b

I think the simplest solution the solution most in keeping with the design of the CM is to always expose the rejection and the contents of the REJ to the consumer. As you say, that makes the code 24 (port & CM redirection) case pretty easy to handle. Code 25 (port redirection only) raises a separ
