[openib-general] LID assignment policy of opensm

[Devesh Sharma]

Hi Hal, eitan and list,

In our previous disscussion regarding MLID assignment policy you metioned
following

"MLIDs are also returned when the group is reclaimed some time
after it is deleted (last full member leaves). That leaves holes in the
table so it is not a simple increment. Requests fail when a new group
creation would cause there to be MLIDs in use greater than the lowest
SwitchInfo:MulticastFDBCap in the subnet."

So what will happen if, All the MLIDs were previously assigned but now are
free (all MLIDs are in Hole state), Now new request to  create a multicast
group comes. (In both cases with previously used MGID and new MGID.)?
In a nutshell  when  MLIDs will wrap around?
