I don't think it will be that bad, actually. I'll see how it works to just move skb-based code into a single source file and build it iff CONFIG_NET. > How are you building on powerpc?

They're not obviously defined to operate on atomic_t objects, but what you say makes sense. I guess that's a peril of using macros for that stuff. > Bryan> I've been building with C=1 for months.

Ah. > The whole duplicated SMA / ipath_verbs doesn't work without ib_mad loaded. There is no duplicated SMA code. There are two routines in ipathfs that handle nodeinfo and portinfo structures, but they're for passing them to userspace; they don't even really resemble the code in ipath_mad.c. Regarding "ipath_verbs doesn't work without ib_mad loaded", I don't know that there's a problem there any more. We took out the use of ib_register_mad_agent to create an automatic dependency that depmod would find, and we're just recommending mangling modprobe.conf instead for now. > - Andrew raised some questions about the special "pick a device for > me" that I'm not sure we satisfied him on. That's possible. Andrew, what's your opinion on that? > It looks like ipath_copy.c is completely unused now that you're not > including the ipath_ether driver. That's true; sorry about that. Do you want me to send you a patch that drops it and pulls it out of headers and kbuild stuff? <b _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
