Maybe give some thought to using a syscall interface through uverbs
for some of this?
IMHO, sysfs is getting out of hand for rdma:
$ find /sys/class/infiniband/mlx4_0 -type f | wc -l
660
$ strace -o /tmp/t /opt/ofa-1.5/sbin/perfquery ; grep sys/ /tmp/t | wc -l
289
That is alot of syscalls just to send two SMPs.
It just seems to me there are not that many examples of APIs that
require so much trundling through sysfs to do common every day
application tasks.
