All I should need to know is that I can advertise either dma handles or kernel VAs

Maybe its obvious to some people here, but may I ask why there's a need to post either dma address or kernel virtual address? is it application need? hardware (e.g IB vs iWARP vs vendor implementation) specific? or something else?

Or.



The NFSRDMA transport uses Fast Register Memory Regions. In this particular section of code, the NFSRDMA client is building a fastreg work request to bind a page list to a fastreg mr. You can read about this in the IBTA spec on memory management extensions, or in the RDMA Verbs draft.
