I could go either way, or use a hybrid of some sort Counting a multisegment MAD as 1 MAD might be a little easier. We could also allow something like 100 segments, or at least 1 reassembled MAD. So, the user could have 100 single segment MADs, 50 2-segment MADs, etc. Without some sort of restriction, a userspace app that's slow to pull receive MADs from the kernel would result in consuming a large amount of kernel memory. - Sean _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
