Re: [ofa-general] [PATCH 2.6.25] RDMA/cxgb3: Fail loopbackconnections.

[Roland Dreier <rdreier@cisco.com>]

Steve, I had to update the patch adding an include and fixing the
function declaration (as below)... but how much testing have you done
with this??

    RDMA/cxgb3: Fail loopback connections
    
    The cxgb3 HW and driver don't support loopback RDMA connections.  So
    fail any connection attempt where the destination address is local.
