[ofa-general] [PATCH 0/5] Further clean up of libibnetdisc interface

[Ira Weiny]

The following patches clean up the interface for the libibnetdisc.  The main
reasons for these changes are 3 fold.

   1) there were some problems with having the structures split between
      internal and external data.  (I thought I was being clever but it is
      not worth it.)
   2) I have, waiting in the wings, a multi-threaded implementation which
      further improves performance, especially on a fabric with problems
      (unresponsive nodes etc).  These patches lay the groundwork for some of
      the changes I will need for this implementation.
   3) I would really like to get the interface changed before this goes out
      with OFED 1.5 or any infiniband-diags release.

I have split the patches up to chunks which I think are pretty manageable.  Let
me know if there are issues or you prefer combined patches.
