This fairly simply series adds support to ib_alloc_pd to create the unsafe global rkey in the IB core, and then switches over all ULPs to use that functionality instead of using ib_get_dma_mr directly, and consequently removes ib_get_dma_mr now that all global registrations are done in the core code. The advantage is that abuses of ib_get_dma_mr are more easily prevented, and use of the global unsafe rkey is more visible and auditable. I'm also pondering removing the get_dma_mr methods and moving the global registrations into the ->alloc_pd methods, but I'll need to investigate how that will work out first. -- 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
