Not a whole lot.
We need an API to detect this feature support in HW.  There could be a bit
of
work in mthca to detect HW/FW support for this feature, and enable
connecting UC
QPs to SRQ.  There could be a bit of debugging work in CM in case we hit
some
bugs with LAP messages (which I plan to use for liveness detection).


Thanks for the info. Can you please elaborate a little more on the LAP based
liveness detection mechanism you were thinking about? I might want to deploy
it in another app.

Actually, looking on IPoIB-CM RC based implementation I don't really
understand its "liveness detection" mechanism... In ipoib_cm_send_req() I
see that the code sets both the RC QP retries AND rnr retries to 0...
doesn't this mean that a single RNR NAK would cause a TX QP to move to
ERROR? can you clarify how do you use the "R" of "RC" here?

thanks,

Or.
