Curious view... You and others identified a 'real' fabric scaling problem (periodic ioc rescans). Your proposed solution completely invalidates any IOC operation without per system registry adjustments - thus your proposed changes will generate a less than previous winOFED out-of-the-box customer experience for those who would attempt to use a fabric connected device (few they may be). I'm attempting to find a solution which is not a quick-fix such that existing IOC behavior is maintained thus preventing an IOC interested customer from experiencing less functionality than what they received in previous WinOF/winOFED releases. I have a working SRP target on a Linux box, hence SRP testing is planned to validate an on-demand IOC rescan design in the SRP environment. Without question an active SRP maintainer would be a welcome addition. Since we do not have an active SRP maintainer, I am willing to do the IOC rescan implementation work to maintain the current level of IOC/IOU functionality.
