[openib-general] Conflicting typedefs for "ib_gid_t"

[Lakshmanan, Madhu]

I concur with your categorization of the application I mentioned. I was
curious about the way going forward, as to whether anyone anticipated
this to be a more commonly recurring issue. 

Thanks in advance for the patch.

To answer your questions:
 
I'm not totally sure about your application but it seems to me to fall
in the category being discussed.
 
Not all of the definitions in ib_types.h are elsewhere.
 
I am working on a patch to get you past this issue.

Does that imply that the definitions in iba/ib_types.h are not expected
to be required or used
by user-space applications other than those categories mentioned above?
If iba/ib_types.h is
only a legacy header, are the definitions also present in another header
file?
