[openib-general] when executing sminfo with a port in down state, there is a retur n value 0

[Dotan Barak]

Hi.

I'm working with gen2 svn rev. 3155 with 2 Mellanox HCAs (23108) (1 on each
host; they are connected b2b: port 1 to port 1).
I executed opensm on host 1, port 1.
When i executed sminfo on host 2 port 1 everything was as expected (return
value = 0).

I killed the opensm
When i executed sminfo on host 2 port 1 everything was as expected (return
value = 255).

When i executed sminfo on host 2 port 2 everything i got 0 (i expected to
get return value = 255).

Port 2 in host 2 was down, so i don't know why i got the return value 0.

here is the output:

host2:~ # /usr/local/bin/sminfo -C mthca0 -P 2
sminfo: sm lid 0x0 sm guid 0x8200000000, activity count 0 priority 0 state

host2:~ # echo $?

                        port_lid:               2
                        port_lmc:               0x00

                port:   2
                        state:                  PORT_DOWN (1)
                        max_mtu:                0 (0)
                        active_mtu:             0 (0)
                        sm_lid:                 0
                        port_lid:               0
                        port_lmc:               0x00
