[PATCH rdma] IB/cache: Restore compatibility for ib_query_gid

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

 



Code changes in smc have become so complicated this cycle that the RDMA
patches to remove ib_query_gid in smc create too complex merge conflicts.
Allow those conflicts to be resolved by using the net/smc hunks by
providing a compatibility wrapper. During the second phase of the merge
window this wrapper will be deleted and smc updated to use the new API.

The resolution Stephen had to make is too complicated, I think we
should go this way instead. Parav can send a patch to DaveM during the
2nd half of the merge window to safely update SMC and delete this
wrapper.

Parav, can you check this?

Ursula, this is only for SMC, are you able to test SMC with it? You
will need to apply it to the RDMA tree here:

Thanks,
