[RFC for accelerated IPoIB 04/26] IB/verb: Add ipoib_options struct and API

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

 



The idea is to allow vendors to optimize IPoIB data path.
The new structure exposes set of callback functions for handling
data path flows in IPoIB driver.
Each vendor can support these set of functions in order to optimize its
specific data path, and let IPoIB to leverage its data path.
The code of IPoIB driver was changed accordingly, and works in both ways
with vendor specific implementation and without.
There is an assumption, that vendors should give the full set of functions
and not only part of them, in order to work properly.
