No. I was able to reproduce the same problem that David reported. I and Hyunchul will take a look. I also confirmed that RDMA work well without any problems with soft-ROCE. Until this problem is fixed, I'd like to say David to use soft-ROCE. > Why does the code require > 16 sge's, regardless of other size limits? Normally, if the lower layer > supports fewer, the upper layer will simply reduce its operation sizes. This should be answered by Long Li. It seems that he set the optimized value for the NICs he used to implement RDMA in cifs. > > Tom. >
