One minor is consumed for each port of each InfiniBand HCA installed
in the system. I know of real systems that have 10 two-port HCAs
installed, which would require 20 minors. 32 minors may be too few,
since it would not allow for a doubling of already-existing
installations, although perhaps larger systems could be forced to use
dynamic major allocation.
So depending on how constrained your allocation space is, I would
prefer 64 minors but 32 is probably OK.
Thanks,
Roland
