This shouldn't happen -- I was just describing what would happen if we followed Sean's idea of passing the same MAD to the low-level driver twice. Just to be clear -- SMI checks should happen before the low-level driver gets the MAD, and the low-level driver should only get the MAD once (and only generate one reply if necessary). - R. _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
