My thought was that a user could override any of the values before creating the group. I'm not sure module parameters are necessary, but I do see how they might be useful. I'll see what others think. >Also, where do the other parameters (components) that are necessary to >create a group come from ? They default to 0. I looked at the values returned for the ipoib broadcast group that was running on my system, and coded the values to match that. >Another option would be to obtain all of them from the appropriate >(partition based) IPoIB broadcast group. I agree, and this is what the RDMA CM does. This was the future extension that I mentioned, since there are still issues that would need to be worked out. Including partition information in the query changes the API. Also, ipoib depends on the ib_multicast module, so ib_multicast cannot rely on ipoib being loaded. It may work better for a user to get the broadcast address that they want, then query for that MGID, but I haven't looked at this enough to know what makes the most sense yet. - 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
