[openib-general] Some Missing Features from mthca/user MAD ac cess

[Eitan Zahavi]

Shahar> Yes, but when you want to respond to attributes you have to specify
a mask. Using that mask you can register to any attribute set you want.
Yes, but if the application (that is not an SM) will use a mask that has the
sminfo set - it will be considered an SM.
I would prefer having the SMBit stay on when the SM dies then having
spurious SMBit transitions.
It will take more resources from the SM when these bits will start to
change.
Also you will need to start ref-counting on the port since several apps can
share it and they will not obey the rule for not masking the sminfo if they
are not SMs.
