[openib-general] is there is any SA client in user level?

[Sean Hefty]

I want to send a join message to the SA from user space.

I know that I can use the umad or the osm_vendor in order to do it..

 

what is the best way to do it?

is there is any SA client implementation in the user level (or is it a
transparent layer?)

 

There is no SA client in userspace.  (I'm not sure that one would be that much
simpler than calling umad directly.)  Ideally, join requests should go through
the kernel through the ib_multicast module to allow for proper reference
counting.  Currently, the only interface to that from userspace is through the
rdma_cm.
