[openib-general] [query]requirement of 'process_mad' in the HCA driver

[keshetti mahesh]

Hello all,

I want to know from u people that isi it necessary to implement the process_mad for a HCA.

After looking into the implementations of process_mad in ipath and mthca drivers i have fount that they are used to reply the MADs with port_info,gid_info,sm_info etc..

But isn't it handled by SMA in the host...... i am little bit confused now .
please just whether  it is required to implement process_mad (suppose) for new HCA driver....if it is required  why?

Please CC your replies to me.

regards,
K.Mahesh.
