I have a multithreaded test (qp_test) and i tried to add support to the libibcm:
every thread is calling the ib_cm_get_device function and get a cm_device_handle.
I checked the handles and it seems that both of the threads get the same CM device handle,
thing which causes to thread X sometimes get the event which i wanted to send to thread Y.

How should a multithreaded application need to work with the libibcm?
