[openib-general] curious warning message (gen1, ibgd, possibl y ot)

[Tziporet Koren]

Hi,

This message indicates that UDAVs for special QPs are located in the DDR
memory and not host memory.
It is a warning since when working with host memory the performance of the
MADs is better, however everything will work just fine.
So in general you can ignore these messages.

Hello folks,

I'm sorry if this is kind of off-topic for this list but I suspect that
there 
are quite a few people on this list that can answer my rather simple 
question.

Every time the tavor-driver loads I see these (kinda scary) warnings:

THH kernel module initialized successfully VAPI(2): thhul_qpm.c[2140]: 
***WARNING***: AVs for special QPs should use HOST memory; the provided PD 
has its AVs in DDR memory.
(repeated four times)

Does anybody know what this means (it's not exactly english to me ;). Can it

be safely ignored? (the systems seems to humm along nicely..)

I'm running IBGD-1.6.1 from mellanox on my Xeon Nocona cluster
(pci-express). 
My HCAs are of the so called "lion cub" type and the os is centos-3.4 
(rhel3u4). Firmware is afaict 4.5.3 (fw_ver=0x400050003 as reported by 
vstat).

tia,
 Peter
