[openib-general] [PATCH] MAD snooping API/implementation

[Sean Hefty]

I presume snoop clients should also not free the MAD either. If so, should
that comment

also be added ?

 

Snooping clients should never touch the MADs.  There are a couple of
comments to that

effect elsewhere in the code, but we can add more if needed.

 

2. Should MAD snooping be exposed to user space too ?

 

I think so.  My hope was that a client would be built on top of this API to
expose snooping

to user-mode, since it requires copying the MAD.  I'd also like to
eventually take the

madeye code and modify it to collect statistics and dynamically allow
printing of MAD

data.
