Moreover, I see that ndisc_build_skb calls ndisc_fill_addr_option which copies dev->dev_addr. Maybe the so called Queue Pair Number (QPN) is already included in dev->dev_addr. If not, I guess the Infiniband driver will also mangle the QPN into the link layer option. If not, this seems only possible because the format for IPv6 link layer option (IB) and IPv4/ARP (IB) has the same format.
Please, please try best not to mangle packets
and keep/make IPsec, SEND right.
Well, Infiniband's hardware length (INFINIBAND_ALEN) is 20,
which means that it includes reserved and QPN field.
Moreover Infiniband driver uses neighbor notification
mechanism.
I think Firewire can use that as well.
What do you think?
