I am looking at how to reduce total RPC execution time in NFS/RDMA. mountstats output shows that RPC backlog wait is too long, but increasing the credit limit doesn't seem help. Would this patchset help reducing total RPC execution time? Shirley On 12/04/2014 03:47 AM, Jeff Layton wrote: > I w

Hello Roland, Since ehca can support 4K MTU, we would like to see a patch in IPoIB to allow link MTU to be up to 4K instead of current 2K for 2.6.24 kernel. The idea is IPoIB link MTU will pick up a return value from SM's default broadcast MTU. This patch should be a small patch, I hop
