I guess since it's confiruable, it's OK. But I think that you miss the fact that there might be other consumers of ib_sa creating multicast groups, and there might be other rdma_cm consumers using IPOIB_PS also. > A module param enables adding a > > options ib_ipoib umcast_allowed=1 > > line to /etc/modprobe.conf to make this setting persistent across > module unload/load (eg reboots) and be applied to all the devices > created by ipoib.

In fact surely OFED must have this infrastructure for setting connected mode, mtu, etc. I really want to push back as much as possible on creating new module parameters since we have too many as it is. - R. _______________________________________________ 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
