I've found the following: http://sources.freebsd.org/HEAD/src/sys/contrib/rdma/rdma_device.c but that's not in our FreeBSD kernel. Just for reference, that source file contains: | static int rdma_core_init(void) | { | int ret; | #ifdef notyet | ret = ib_sysfs_setup(); | if (ret) | log(LOG_WARNING, "Couldn't create InfiniBand device class\n"); | #endif So there might be some effort to support that, but that's not here yet. Shall I close this bug, and request the P-a-s addition? That would be the attached patch. We also got openmpi fixed in the meanwhile. Thanks for the quick answer. Mraw, KiBi.
