Hi,
I have a CX3/IB card (MLX4 driver) assigned to a Xen VM and notice the
following with/without the below patch applied. Is this a known issue
and are there any fixes available for it? I couldn't find any references
to it and thought I should check with the list/author. I do not see this
issue with baremetal or KVM, but only on a Xen VM. Thanks.
1. ibv_devinfo with patch a40ded604365 applied (all other HCA attribs
are OK):/
# ibv_devinfo -v | grep max_mcast_qp_attach/
/max_mcast_qp_attach: -8
/
2. ibv_devinfo without patch a40ded604365 applied:/
///# ibv_devinfo -v | grep max_mcast_qp_attach/
/max_mcast_qp_attach: 248
/ /

net/mlx4_core: Add masking for a few queries on HCA caps
Driver reads the query HCA capabilities without the corresponding
masks.
Without the correct masks, the base addresses of the queues are
unaligned. In addition some reserved bits were wrongly read.
Using the
correct masks, ensures alignment of the base addresses and allows
future
firmware versions safe use of the reserved bits.
