Subject: strong ordering for data registered memory
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:19:26 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AF9CACE.8070700@Sun.COM> (raw)

Some time ago there was an email sent to this group with the subject 
"weak ordering for data registered memory".  I don't recall any action 
resulting from this thread.  So, I have a question.  If a bit were 
defined to specify "strong ordering", perhaps as a "access" flag (see 
ibv_access_flags) and used with ibv_reg_mr(), would that be sufficient 
for (1) client applications that need a HW "guarantee" of writing the 
last byte of an RDMA last and (2) platform implementations that need to 
deliver that feature?
