Following your fix ideas I plan to change the function into this one: static int smc_ib_fill_gid_and_mac(struct smc_ib_device *smcibdev, u8 ibport) { struct ib_gid_attr gattr; int rc; rc = ib_query_gid(smcibdev->ibdev, ibport, 0, &smcibdev->gid[ibport - 1], &gattr); /* the SMC protocol requires specification of the roce MAC address; * if net_device cannot be determined, it can be derived from gid 0 */ if (rc) return rc; if (gattr.ndev) { memcpy(&smcibdev->mac, gattr.ndev->dev_addr, ETH_ALEN); dev_put(gattr.ndev); } else { memcpy(&smcibdev->mac[ibport - 1][0], &smcibdev->gid[ibport - 1].raw[8], 3); memcpy(&smcibdev->mac[ibport - 1][3], &smcibdev->gid[ibport - 1].raw[13], 3); smcibdev->mac[ibport - 1][0] &= ~0x02; } return 0; } If you agree, I will submit the corresponding patch including a Suggested-by: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Regards, Ursula -- 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
