I mean is there anyone who really uses >4 VLs? Presumably the HW designers didn't think so, because they limited HW to 4 VLs with 4K MTU. At least can we make this a runtime thing? If we're able to set a port as IB vs ethernet then # of VLs seems like it should be doable too. And 4K MTU should probably be the default, since almost all users want 4K MTU vs. caring about VLs. (Probably 99% of IB users never set SL of anything) - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
