[openib-general] A question about sa_query

[Ishai Rabinovitz]

Hi,

There is something that bothers me in sa_query.
 
According to table 115 in the IB-SPEC when the status in the MAD hdr is 
1,2 or 3 it shouldn't be considered to as an error. (1 means busy, 2 
means redirection, and 3 means both).
 
The function "recv_handler" in core/sa_query.c sets the status of the 
sa_query before calling the callback function.
It sets the status according to the status returned in the mad header. 
(mad_recv_wc->recv_buf.mad->mad_hdr.status)
 
If the status in the mad_hdr is different from 0 it sets the return 
status to -EINVAL.
 
This mean that the higher layers (e.g., SRP) do not know what was the 
exact status and therefore treat status 1 (busy) as an error.
 
Am I missing something?
