Depends on what you mean by changing the route. We can switch a connection between physical ports within our chip. In that case the stats stays with the netdev. > Or presumably you have support for port aggregation in hardware > so an offloaded connection can use both physical ports at the > same time? We do support port aggregation in our silicon. However, a connection is bound to a physical port but switchable (see above). > Actually it seems that you attach a struct ib_device to each > netdev (eg a two-port NIC gets two RDMA devices with iw_nes) > so Steve's scheme should work fine for you too? (I just > looked on a system with a two-port NIC and I do see nes0 and > nes1 devices) After some discussion with our architect, Steve's scheme will work for us by limiting to one netdev per physical port. I will look into implementing the same scheme. Thank you (Steve + Roland) for driving this.
