[openib-general] [PATCH] initial CM module

[Itamar Rabenstein]

This is a very old mail Thread ,but only now i had time to work on it in
kdapl.

we have discussed the feature that if the call to ib_cm_listen()
comes with service_id == 0 that mean the consumer requste that the cm module
will assign a service id.

Sean,
I dont see that you have added it to the .h file and not implemented it in
the .c

are you going to add it ?

i dont need it soon but at least if you are going to support it
can you update the .h file and i will prepare the kdapl file acording the .h
file ?

 Itamar
