Not to me. For an RDMA operation, the "initiator" is the app that issues the read request WR. That app doesn't create what I call the READ_SOURCE MR. Its peer application does. So calling READ_SOURCE something like READ_INITIATOR doesn't make sense to me. That's why I thought SOURCE and SINK were clearer. Perhaps not... I have a new version I'll send out soon that will comment all of these in the enum declaration. Perhaps that will make it clear. > > > + RDMA_MRR_WRITE_SOURCE = (1<<4), > > + RDMA_MRR_WRITE_SINK = (1<<5), > > + RDMA_MRR_ATOMIC = (1<<6), > > + RDMA_MRR_MW_BIND = (1<<7), > > + RDMA_MRR_ZERO_BASED = (1<<8), > > + RDMA_MRR_ACCESS_ON_DEMAND = (1<<9), > > +}; > > -- > 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 -- 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
