[openib-general] RE: osm_sa_pkey_record.c when VENDOR_RMPP_SUPPORT defined

[Eitan Zahavi]

Hal : I'd be curious where the optionality of using RMPP for GetTable is in
the IBA spec.
[EZ]  Double checked for that. Could not find any. My memory has tricked me.
You are correct. Actually as you point out C15-00.1.18 dictates the use of
RMPP even for single packet response. I recall there were some other SM's
that could not handle a single RMPP responses at the time I dealt with it.
Also,  the IB Analyzer software did not handle that MAD correctly.

 [EZ] So if we want to be compliant we need to provide the vendor layer
better info for when to use RMPP sends. And the best way is to let the SA
set the rmpp_flags active bit.
