To clarify the major issue: currently when a connection request is received, the connection data specified by the active side through the rdma_conn_param is NOT given to the user. This includes the responder_resources and initiator_depth. There's no easy way to obtain this information. The ideal fix for this is to include rdma_conn_param as part of the rdma_cm_event. However, this breaks every userspace app that's been coded to OFED / SVN. An alternative is to add another call to retrieve the data, but that's not a very clean alternative for new kernel submission. - 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
