I don't think this second stage sounds like a good idea. Suppose someone loads the RDMA CM first, so it doesn't find the ipv6 functions, and then later loads and configures ipv6. You'll end up in a situation where trying to make an IPv6 connection fails spuriously. (And just the ugliness of looking up function pointers isn't very nice either) - 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
