The provisioning system need not be fully aware in all their components this is IB here, there's PCI linkage that tells these are VFs of this PF and they have to be used for these VMs. >> along with the fully IB aware solution where the >> upper level does provision IB GUIDs. > There has never been upstream support for this MAC->GUID stuff you refer > to.

Using the small MAC->GUID addition, people could be using non-modified (or almost non-modified) provisioning systems that assign SRIOV VMs with a MACs --- just use these patches on their hosts and get DHCP server supplying IP addresses based on the derived GUIDs (this is supported today). -- 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
