And what happens if you use IPoIB datagram mode, is/why the patch is needed there? Also the patch uses a new QP creatiob flag IB_QP_CREATE_USE_GFP_NOFS but it doesn't touch include/rdma/ib_verbs.h nor I see this flag defined anywhere on the patch, does it compile? how? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
