SM (rather, SA) can just open file descriptor per pkey - it created them itself, and there's a small number of partitions. > Beyond that, this approach doesn't work for receiving MADs on different PKeys. Yes, it does: we just filter out the MADs where pkey does not match. I think that most other apps (besides SA) should really treat each partition as a separate network. So getting MADs for a specific pkey, rather than all pkeys, makes total sense to me. -- MST _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
