Hi Doug, Yishay, I need to translate sgid_index to sgid in the library to check for loopback. While invoking ibv_query_gid does the job, it seems to me somewhat inadequate that a provider library invokes an ibv function and not an ibv_cmd function. What are your thoughts on this? I would have invoked the ibv_cmd_query_gid, but there is no such function because ibv_query_gid does not require the kernel. However there's an old *declaration* of the ibv_cmd_query_gid. Perhaps I will define the function in a similar way to ibv_query_gid?!
ibv_query_gid is used all around by vendors, it serves as some helper function which is exported from libibverbs, you can just use it.
Re 'ibv_cmd_query_gid' looks like some 'dead' code that should be delted. -- 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
