[openib-general] A Couple of verbs/mthca/firmware questions

[Roland Dreier]

    Hal> 1. On received packets, the LRH is not visible but there are
    Hal> some WC fields set. One of those fields is
    Hal> dlid_path_bits. dlid_path_bits seems to be the same
    Hal> regardless of whether the incoming DR SMP was sent to the
    Hal> actual DLID or the permissive DLID. Is there a way to
    Hal> distinguish these cases ?

Not that I know of... as far as I know, the IB spec doesn't have a way
to distinguish this at the verbs level.

    Hal> 2. If a status is set in the MAD header and a post_send is
    Hal> issued on that MAD, should that status be sent in the packet
    Hal> ? Is there any conversion of the status field which might
    Hal> occur ?

I think the payload of the UD packet (ie the full 256 byte MAD packet)
should be put on the wire unchanged.
