Can this please be reconsidered ? The current approach (letting libsdp.so open two sockets every time socket(AF_INET...) is called) needs a complex implementation and is error prone. My opinion is that instead of letting libsdp.so create two sockets to enable IPoIB + SDP support, the kernel should be modified such that both IPoIB + SDP context information can be associated with a single socket descriptor. Once this functionality is implemented there will no longer be a need for a separate address family for SDP (AF_INET_SDP). I noticed there is strong opposition on LKML against introduction of AF_INET_SDP (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/3/6/70). An example of an issue I encountered with libsdp.so: the STGT iSCSI target daemon does not start properly when preloading libsdp.so. Without libsdp.so tgtd runs fine: # /usr/sbin/tgtd -f (no error messages) With libsdp.so preloaded an error occurs: # LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libsdp.so /usr/sbin/tgtd -f (null): iscsi_tcp_init(202) unable to bind server socket, Address already in use Bart. _______________________________________________ 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
