[openib-general] Re: [PATCH] CMA: allow/require bindbeforeconnect

[Tom Tucker]

I had planned on making it a service within the CMA that would be shared
by both the IWCM and the IBCM. Sort of an extension to the port-space
thing that's already there. 

Is this what you had in mind?

There probably will be some pieces in the transport CM's as well.
