[ofa-general] How to get a thread out of the ib_cm_get_event while wthere is a broken IB connection?

[Bub Thomas]

Or,
I'm using the OSM to query the GID and LID via a service ID that the
server advertises.
Since my server is running Montavista Linux on a PowertPC that is
actually located in an FPGA I refused from using IPoIB which does not
allow to use lbrdmacm then.

 From your question, I understand that you use libibcm.

How do you get the peer IB L3 (GID) and L2 (LID) info? are you using 
some out-of-band (eg through TCP) exchange for that?

May I ask if libibcm buys you something which librdmacm doesn't?

Or.
