(Didn't get a response from an earlier post, this is a repost w/ a rebased patch)
Hi all, As far as I can tell, the only way to create an ipoib interface w/ a non-default pkey is to: 1) goto /sys/class/net/ibX/ 2) echo $MY_NEW_PKEY > create_child 3) then bring up ibX.MY_NEW_PKEY interface 3a) assuming I don't want the original ib0, bring it down (although leaving it up, I guess may not harm anything) It seems somewhat cumbersome for an administrator to script this all up if they only want 1 ipoib interface w/ a non-default pkey. The attached patch creates a module option called "default_pkey" to allow ipoib to default to a different pkey. If nothing is input, it still uses the pkey at index 0.
