This is very important for us as it prevents in stress situation
less drop packets for UD eg. by flood ping.
Currently I've encountered another important issue as I reported
once. That is: If I use install.sh to build and install
kernel and user space stuff on ppc64, I got the user space
binaries in 64bit only, eg. ibv_ud_pingpong64, ibv_devices64,
while only 32bit libs eg. libibverbs.so are found. Hence
the 64bit binaries are useless. I've been struggling with
openib.spec, since I do think that the compiling is correct,
but rpmbuild might mix up things inconsistently.
Vlad, I appreciate if you could provide me with some hints
why that does not work for me.
Thanks!
Nam Nguyen
