Currently the code does:
if (device_supports_fastreg && device_supports_signature)
use FRMR
else
use DMAMR
Shouldn't we just recode it this way?
if (device_supports_fastreg)
use FRMR
else
use DMAMR
The benefit is that we don't have to check for iWARP protocol in the ULP. The side effect is, I think, mlx4 will now use FRMR
instead of DMAMR for reads/writes since it doesn't support signature handover.
