[openib-general] ioctl and send_agents

Hi,

Thanks for the fast answer.

I looked at the osm_vendor_bind and seen the umad_register call. But if I 
checked the umad_register function (libibumad/src/umad.c) I just see an 
ioctl call again. And if it right that the user_mad module is uses at kernel 
space shouldn't there be a call like unlocked_ioctl or compat_ioctl like 
defined in this module?

These agents are all receiver agents and you say nothing about send agents 
for SM?

Thanks Michael
