You could do that (and of course there is the OSC software iwarp
implementation), but I guess the complications in this case come from
stuff like someone sharing a CQ between a loopback and a non-loopback
QP on the same device, etc.
Good point. The chelsio driver already has a sw-cq implementation that
could handle mixing loopback + non loopback connections.
Perhaps I should just implement loopback support for chelsio.
Any applications out there that require loopback?
Steve.
