In the past I run SMC-R with Connect X3 cards. The mlx4 driver does not seem to contain extra coding for IB_SEND_INLINE flag for ib_post_send. Does this mean for SMC-R to run on Connect X3 cards the IB_SEND_INLINE flag is ignored, and thus I needed the ib_dma_map_single() call for the area used with ib_post_send()? Does this mean I should stay away from the IB_SEND_INLINE flag, if I want to run the same SMC-R code with both, Connect X3 cards and Connect X4 cards?
