Ira,

Thanks for the review.

Sorry for the late reply. My answers are in-lined.

We are not invoking the _do_mad_rpc directly, we are invoking ib_resolve_portid_str_via that does not pass-back any of the ib_rpc_t contents, so we just depend on the return code 
and errno to determine whether a path can be resolved or not.

We are working on setting up the the GIT ..

Ok I will change the code to return immediately after hitting the E_TIMEDOUT error.
