That would help to nicely simplify > drivers? That is more or less what I was talking about when I suggested removing the lkey from the API ULPs use. Ultimately ib_get_dma_mr is just one call, and switching to (eg) pd->local_memory_lkey is tidier, but not much simpler.. > Currently various drivers are using ib_get_dma_mr with remote flags > unfortunately, e.g. the SRP initiator driver uses it to optimize away > memory registrtions for single SGL entry requests.

The ones I looked at used it as a fallback if FMR or FRMR are not available.
