[openib-general] [PATCH] Initial checkin of userspace MAD access

[Roland Dreier]

By the way, buried down at the end of the patch is some documentation
about creating device files:

+/dev files
+
+  To create the appropriate character device files automatically with
+  udev, a rule like
+
+    KERNEL="umad*", NAME="infiniband/%s{ibdev}/umad%s{port}"
+
+  can be used.  This will create nodes such as /dev/infiniband/mthca0/umad1
+  for port 1 of device mthca0.

Do the names /dev/infiniband/mthca0/umad1 and so on make sense to
people?  I thought that userspace verbs support would probably use a
file like /dev/infiniband/mthca0/verbs, etc.

In any case, now is probably the time to object before we have legacy
issues to worry about....
