Yes -- two cases are pretty standard: - be2net driver loads, probes all devices, then roce driver loads - be2net and roce driver loads, then a device is probed later (PCI hotplug, new SR-IOV virtual function, etc) so we need to deal with the case where both the core be2net driver is probing devices and the roce driver loads later, and also the case where the roce driver loads first and then gets notified as the be2net driver probes a device. (This is pretty much the same as mlx4_core / mlx4_ib BTW) - 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
