Hi Doug, This purpose of this series is to add usage of the GID cache to the CMA and IB stack. Instead of passing Ethernet L2 attributes via QP attributes, we could just use the GID cache that's already points to a ndev and thus to all required L2 attributes. The first five patches query the GID table to find only GIDs which are related to the bounded net-device of the specific used port. This extra information is carried via ib_sa_path_rec (extending it to include the namespace and ifindex). Querying the ndev and port is achieved by adding a gid_attr argument to ib_query_gid, add a ndev argument to ib_find_cached_gid and add a new ib_find_cached_gid_by_port. This usage of the GID table replaces the usage of QP attributes. The sixth patch adds an ib_cache_gid_find_by_filter function. This allows the user to query the cache by a specific filter. ib_cache_gid_find_by_filter is used by the seventh patch. Instead of storing the smac and vid on the AH, we could just resolve them from the net-device which the sgid index is assigned to. This change means that instead of resolving all L2 attributes, the server, we get the dgid and vlan and searches the GID cache in order to find a matching GID index. The last three patches removed unused fields and attributes. Matan Changes from V1: - Rebased patches against Doug's latest k.o/for-4.4 tree.
