[ewg] Sharing Infiniband connection with forked child

I've been working with Infiniband recently and am relatively unfamiliar with
the technology. I was hoping someone on this list could answer a
question for me.

When an Infiniband connection is established between a client and
server, when  the client fork()s into a child process, can the child
process share the existing connection with the parent process
(as is the case with shared sockets)?

Thanks,

Greg Kerr
