[openib-general] Re: Questions about libibat, ib_uat, and ib_a

[Kevin Reilly]

Will the CMA have that the same function ib_at_route_by_ip()  that we are
using in libibat?

/**
 * ib_at_route_by_ip - asynchronously resolve ip address to ib route
 * @dst_ip: destination ip
 * @src_ip: source ip - optional
 * @tos: ip type of service
 * @flags: ib_at_route_flags
 * @ib_route: out structure
 * @async_comp: asynchronous callback structure - optional
 * @req_id: pointer for request ID
 *
 * Resolve the specified dst_ip to a &struct ib_route structure.
 * src_ip can be provide to force specific output interface.
 * flags can be used to select resolving method; currently IB-ARP or ATS.
 *
 * See ib_at_completion structure documentation for asynchronous
 * operation details.

int ib_at_route_by_ip(uint32_t dst_ip, uint32_t src_ip, int tos, uint16_t
flags,
                              struct ib_at_ib_route *ib_route,
                              struct ib_at_completion *async_comp, uint64_t

The kernel CMA is ready today.  An additional change will be required at
some
point once the iWarp Emulation Protocol is defined, but that will be minor.

Work on the user CMA should begin by the end of this week.  I estimate that
it
will take about 4 weeks to complete.
