Did you actually encounter a problem with this? yes, I did. It didn't work with some ofed drop I was using. Anyway, as I said, I can do some validation that IBoE doesn't break upstream IB, just need the patches for that end, so once they are available, I will give them a try over 2.6.35-rcX > The counters patches will divert the code: for iboe it will not issue a MAD to the firmware. It will use another command. Can you be more specific what is the origin for this new design? is it HW limitation or firware limitation or something else? In case its not hardware limitation, I don't think we need to go for non MAD based scheme, at least not for mlx4 Or. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
