I believe it's a firmware difference. There are basically three
Mellanox HCA chips:
MT23108 - PCI-X - memfull only (FW 3.x.y)
MT25208 - 2 port PCI Express - memfull (FW 4.x.y) or memfree (FW 5.x.y)
memfree FW will work even if HCA board
has memory on it. Obviously memfree FW
is required if the HCA board has no memory.
MT25204 - 1 port PCI Express - memfree only (FW 1.x.y)
Any HCA that works with memfree FW (ie any PCI Express HCA) should be
able to generate SRQ limit events. In the current FW release, memfull
HCAs do not generate SRQ limit events.
