Hey Roland, I don't think that Sean didn't question weather data-integrity support should or shouldn't be added to Verbs API (Sean correct me if I'm wrong), but rather the way it should be added. From our discussion on this, the only conflict that Sean and I had was weather the protection setup should "ride" on ib_post_send. Sean suggested a separate routine that would post on the SQ. I think that in the current framework where placing a fast-path operation is done via ib_post_send, we keep current implementation, and open a discussion if it is a good idea to migrate "non-send" work-requests out of ib_post_send (also fast-registration and memory-windows).
