Yes, I sorted this out so it would be obvious how to deal with xprtrdma when the time comes. All three registration modes can just use pd->local_dma_lkey for the SEND/RECV buffers. PHYSICAL would still need ib_get_dma_mr() (or something equivalent) for MRs needing remote access, agreed. -- Chuck Lever -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
