<P class=MsoNormal>I would like to hear people’s opinions on these issues and
whether these changes would be acceptable to the WinOF community.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>1. Each ULP that passes a
physical address to WinOF needs to also pass a virtual address for the same
block for us to be able to use it.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"
class=MsoNormal>a. This has been done in
OFED although it may have been a more centralized change.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in" class=MsoNormal>b.
This can be done is such a way that it is transparent to Mellanox HCA
users.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>2. Make the GUID_RDMA
interface documented and moved ‘outside’ into its own special
subdirectory. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in" class=MsoNormal>a.
The documentation specifically has to let people know what the inbound and
outbound data should be, what it should not be and any known ordering
issues<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>3. Make the InfiniBand
class GUID similarly move outside and ensure that there are no class installer
or upper/ lower filter dependencies in the GUID – that should be the
responsibility of the class instance to handle<o:p></o:p></P>
