Re: [PATCH 37/37] IB/rdmavt: Add support for new memory registration API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




This question is not directly related to this patch, but given that
this is a copy-paste from the qib driver I'll go ahead and take it
anyway. How does qib (and rvt now) do memory key invalidation? I didn't
see any reference to IB_WR_LOCAL_INV anywhere in the qib driver...

What am I missing?

ping?

In short, it doesn't look like qib or hfi1 support this.

Oh, I'm surprised to learn that. At least I see that
qib is not exposing IB_DEVICE_MEM_MGT_EXTENSIONS. But whats
the point in doing something with a IB_WR_REG_MR at all?

Given that this is not supported anyway, why does this patch
exist?

That doesn't mean it can't be added to rdmavt as a future enhancement
though if there is a need.

Well, given that we're trying to consolidate on post send registration
interface it's kind of a must I'd say.

Are you asking because soft-roce will need it?

I was asking in general, but in specific soft-roce as a consumer will
need to support that yes.
