Hi Leon,

We are using rdma-cm, the port number here is same like addr_trsvcid
in NVMeoF, it controls which port
rdma_listen is listening on.

Currently, it's hardcoded, I've adapted the code to have a kernel
module parameter port_nr in ibnbd_server, so it's possible
to change it if the sysadmin wants.

Thanks,
