Sure, but the oddness is that rdma_device_access_flags exists at all, not the wrapper. The wrapper is what we want the API to look like, if we could trivially change the WR format as well then rdma_device_access_flags wouldn't even exist at all. > >I expect well need to keep the driver entry point for user space, but > >we should be able to hide the API and flags from other modules. > > dma_mr for user-space?? How can this be relevant for user-space? I didn't mean dma_mr specifically, but all the other driver entry points that use the old-style IBV_ACCESS_* flags.
