OK thanks for the update here.. I'll have a look at getting these two bugfixes merged into lio-core-2.6.git and respun for an initial ib_srpt merge. > Issues introduced in the LIO source tree: > - Using 128 bits for identifying a port seems overkill to me - 64 bits > is sufficient. Well, the reason I used 128 bits for the port name is because your original patch used 128 bits for the explict Node ACL port name and I wanted things to be consistent. That said, using rtslib + targetcli these are automatically extracted from /sys/class/infiniband/*/ports/*/gids/0 via ib_srpt.spec here: http://www.risingtidesystems.com/git/?p=rtslib.git;a=blob;f=specs/ib_srpt.spec;h=e42eec906accbe5670a38590cdcf63bba018667c;hb=HEAD so the end-user does not actually have to type the target port name in manually, ever. I'd much rather keep these two consistent with 128 bit port names following your original code, and let rtslib do the extra formatting as necessary. > Also, there is no guarantee that the formula used for > computing the port GID (node GUID + port number) will match the port > GID.
