I understand that SDP needs address translation services as well as its own private data. However, I think it could be implemented using optional API functions that allow the ULP to modify the private data per its need, rather than adding ULP knowledge into CMA. As example, if ISER spec will be modified, or some new ULP implemented, that needed their own private data, we'll need to modify CMA again, as well as creating a dependency between CMA versions and ULPs. > > > Regarding the patch below, it makes sense.
