[ofa-general] [PATCH RFC] IB/ipoib: enable IGMP for userpsace multicast IB apps

Sun Sep 2 05:04:12 PDT 2007


The kernel IB stack allows (through the RDMA CM) user space multicast applications
to interoperate with IP based apps optionally running at a different IP subnet.

To support this inter-op for the case where the receiving party resides at
the IB side, there is a need to handle IGMP (reports/queries) else the local
IP router would not forward this multicast traffic.

This patch does a lookup on the database used for multicast reference counting
and enhances IPoIB to ignore mulicast group which is already handled by user space,
all this under a per device policy flag.

That is when the policy flag allows it, IPoIB will not join/attach its QP to a
multicast group which has an entry on the database. The default value is "disallowed",
where through /sys/class/net/$dev/umcast one can allow/disallow and read it.
