Based on performance tests, increasing the maximum inline can result in a significant decrease in overall bandwidth. So, I don't believe that we want providers to increase max_inline automatically to what could be supported. I'm not sure what to do here, given that the documentation and behaviors do not match. But having a consistent behavior would help. I guess user space providers could work around the issue by allocating internal buffers, registering them, and copying the user data into them on inline sends. - Sean -- 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
