It is specific to "enhanced IPoIB" and not to device. I don't know where we can document it. > Will it work differently if without MLX5_CORE_IPOIB enabled? Yes, without MLX5_CORE_IPOIB, the devices will work in "legacy IPoIB", exactly as cx-3. The best thing will be to change IPoIB ULP to behave like netdev, but we were not comfortable to do it back then due to user visible nature of such change. > > I think it would be helpful to add a message if possible to remind > admin to enable parent if only child if configured.
