Torben> Ok here's the deal. I started a new 2.6+ device list.
Great, thanks!
Torben> 231 char InfiniBand MAD
Torben> 0 = /dev/infiniband/umad0
Torben> 1 = /dev/infiniband/umad1
Torben> ...
Can we update this to be:
231 char InfiniBand
0 = /dev/infiniband/umad0 First InfiniBand MAD device
1 = /dev/infiniband/umad1 Second InfiniBand MAD device
...
63 = /dev/infiniband/umad63 63rd InfiniBandMad device
64 = /dev/infiniband/issm0 First InfiniBand IsSM device
65 = /dev/infiniband/issm1 Second InfiniBand IsSM device
...
127 = /dev/infiniband/issm63 63rd InfiniBand IsSM device
(the issm device support is in Linus's pending queue right now)
Also, the userspace verbs support that is in development but not that
close to being ready to merge will use one character device per
InfiniBand adapter, so we would want 32 more devices like:
128 = /dev/infiniband/uverbs0 First InfiniBand verbs device
129 = /dev/infiniband/uverbs1 Second InfiniBand verbs device
...
159 = /dev/infiniband/uverbs31 31st InfiniBand verbs device
(It's 32 and not 64 like the other devices, because the typical IB
adapter has two ports and the umad and issm devices are per port
instead of per adapter like uverbs)
If you want to add those now, that would be great. However it's fine
to wait and see if the verbs support ends up getting merged.
Thanks,
Roland
