On the topic of scalability and possible future enhancements for scalability,
one person asked for verbs extensions to allow asynchronous QP create and
modify calls
WinOF has asynchronous interfaces for modify QP, and limited testing has shown
that it can improve connection times. QP transitions
WinOF has asynchronous interfaces for modify QP, and limited testing has
shown
that it can improve connection times. QP transitions are probably the second
largest component of connection setup after the SA. Since the RDMA CM
already
provides an asynchronous interface, even
can't anyone get async modify QP today on any platform by just doing the
operation in another thread (or thread pool)? It seems that the
operations themselves are heavy enough that thread dispatch, locking etc
is going to be significant overhead.
On WinOF this is basically how things are

At least change the slides now saying that it was approved by OFA
Since we do not have an EWG meeting this week we can only discuss it
next week

I think that we need to discuss this in the EWG meeting first as to what
release the code should go into. Since it has not been accepted upstream
and as there may be changes needed after the formal spec is released, we may
want
to consider leaving it in an experimental branch until the code is
