[openib-general] SDP socket address family

[Yaron Haviv]

There seems to be a conflict between the currently used SDP socket address family number (26) and the current linux kernel. Linux allocates this address family number (26) for 'LLC' protocol.

Any ideas if we should change it from 26, and to what ?
 
Below are some related header-file snippets:
 
SuSE-9.1  /usr/include/linux/socket.h:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#define AF_IRDA         23      /* IRDA sockets                 */
#define AF_PPPOX        24      /* PPPoX sockets                */
#define AF_WANPIPE      25      /* Wanpipe API Sockets */
#define AF_LLC          26      /* Linux LLC                    */
#define AF_BLUETOOTH    31      /* Bluetooth sockets            */
#define AF_MAX          32      /* For now.. */
 

Voltaire's sdp/sdp-sockets/sdp-sockets.h:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# define AF_IBT  26
 

TopSpin's infiniband/ulp/sdp/sdp_inet.h:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
 * constants shared between user and kernel space.
 */
#define AF_INET_SDP 26             /* SDP socket protocol family */
#define AF_INET_STR "AF_INET_SDP"  /* SDP enabled enviroment variable */
