[ofa-general] libibmad question forward

[Jeff Becker]

I am trying to use libibmad library for initiating queries of Device
Management and other class types. While initializing, the
madrpc_init() call fails when I have IB_DEVICE_MGMT_CLASS included as
a part of mgmt_classes parameter. This is because mgmt_class_vers()
(which is called by mad_register_port_client()/ mad_register_client())
fails to return class version for Device Management Class.

I am able to make DM queries if mgmt_class_vers() is fixed i.e. just
add a case to return the version for IB_DEVICE_MGMT_CLASS. e.g.

static int
mgmt_class_vers(int mgmt_class)

{

       if ((mgmt_class >= IB_VENDOR_RANGE1_START_CLASS &&
            mgmt_class <= IB_VENDOR_RANGE1_END_CLASS) ||
           (mgmt_class >= IB_VENDOR_RANGE2_START_CLASS &&
            mgmt_class <= IB_VENDOR_RANGE2_END_CLASS))
              return 1;

        switch(mgmt_class) {
              case IB_SMI_CLASS:
              case IB_SMI_DIRECT_CLASS:
                     return 1;
              case IB_SA_CLASS:
                     return 2;
              case IB_PERFORMANCE_CLASS:
                     return 1;
              // Change START
              case IB_DEVICE_MGMT_CLASS:
                     return 1;
              // Change END
       }

       return 0;

I am wondering if this minor anomaly can be submitted as a bug to
broaden the usage of libibmad its usage for DM queries.

Thanks for any help in advance.
