[ofa-general] osm_physp_calc_link_ops question

[Hal Rosenstock]

Hi,

Both osm_lid_mgr.c:__osm_lid_mgr_set_physp_pi and
osm_link_mgr.c:__osm_link_mgr_set_physp_pi call
osm_port.c:osm_physp_calc_link_op_vls. In the case where the remote end is
invalid, the local VLCap is used as the OperationalVLs. When the VLCaps at
the two ends of the link do not match, this is not a good thing. It causes
trap storms on the flow control watchdog timer expiring. Wouldn't it be
better to leave this field as is in this case or would that cause some other
problem ?

Same thing might also be true for link MTU but not as critical.
