Hi Parav, I want to propose an extension to the RDMA cgroup which can be done as follow-up patches. Let's add new global type, which will control whole HCA (for example in percentages). It will allow natively define new objects without need to introduce them to the user. This HCA share will be overwritten by specific UVERBS types which you already defined. What do you think? Except this proposal, Reviewed-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Thanks.
