I'm still lost. What I mean by an SMA is something that generates a
response to MAD queries, eg GETs of NodeDescription or SETs of
PortInfo. You need that for a subnet manager to be able to configure
your port, so clearly your userspace SMA handles those queries.
However, you also have code in ib_path.ko module like
recv_subn_set_portinfo() that handles the exact same queries. There
must be some code duplication going on.
Maybe one way of phrasing my question is why you need two different
implementations of parsing a SET of PortInfo and generating a response.
