going with your approach, if your proposed design is accepted, I believe that you probably need to patch all the code-chains that makes calls under the current assumption

I don't agree that exposing the Ethernet L2 related information to the caller is breaking something, the converse, it is a required enhancement.

I think we need to let resolve through the rdma-cm && get to know at the consumer level, what are the source / destination macs, vlan id and vlan priority used by an IBoE QP, in the exact manner all the IB equivalents (src/dst lid, pkey, sl) are resolved by the rdma-cm and exposed to the consmer app for IB QP.
