Hi Roland http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/general/2009-July/060496.html The discussion in the link above didn't end with a decision. You were asking about a way to inject illegal mcast addresses from userspace to ib_ipoib and Jason pointed about such (described below). Could you please review the patch?
thanks MoniS ------------------- Illegal multicast address can be handed for IPoIB from userspace. For example the command ip maddr add 33:33:00:00:00:01 dev ib0 injects an illegal muticast address to IPoIB that will start a join task for this address. However, whenever an illegal multicast address is passed to IPoIB it stops all subsequent requests from join attempts. That happens because IPoIB joins to multicast addresses in the order they arrived and doesn't handle the next address until the current address join finishes with success. This patch moves the multicast address to the end of the list after a join attempt. Even if the join fails the next attempt will be with a different address.
