Subject: Re: [PATCH V3 1/5] RDMA/core: Transport-independent access flags

On 7/6/2015 2:22 AM, Steve Wise wrote:
The semantics for MR access flags are not consistent across RDMA
protocols.  So rather than have applications try and glean what they
need, have them pass in the intended roles and attributes for the MR to
be allocated and let the RDMA core select the appropriate access flags
given the roles, attributes, and device capabilities.

We introduce rdma_mr_roles and rdma_mr_attributes that enumerate the
possible roles and attributes for a MR.  These are documented in the
enums themselves.

New services exported:

rdma_device_access_flags() - given the intended MR roles and attributes
passed in, return the ib_access_flags bits for the device.

rdma_get_dma_mr() - allocate a dma mr using the applications intended
MR roles and MR attributes.  This uses rdma_device_access_flags().

rdma_fast_reg_access_flags() - return the ib_access_flags bits needed
for a fast register WR given the applications intended MR roles and
MR attributes.  This uses rdma_device_access_flags().

I still think this wrapper should go away...

Ok. I'll remove all uses of ib_get_dma_mr()...



I meant that rdma_get_dma_mr can go away. I'd prefer to get the
needed access_flags and just call existing verb.
