The dlopen of mlx4 should fail due to unresolved references, so the net effect will be that no apps cannot open the RDMA device in this situation - so it is an invalid system configuration that is properly detected by the runtime. > The problem here is that the new additions need support in > libibverbs in order to work (this is not simply a "pass-through" by > libibverbs to the lower layer). The hope is once the infrastructure is in libibverbs there will not be as much need to change libibverbs, just the apps and the drivers.
