Hi Anatoly,
There are checks for Cisco, SuperMicro, and now HP GUIDs that essentially do the same thing except for the hardcoded OUI in the MAC address. The handlers for converting these GUIDs are only invoked after a check on the OUI:
> + else if( p_guid[1] == 0x1a && p_guid[2] == 0x4b )
> + {
> + status = ipoib_mac_from_hp_guid( port_guid,
> p_mac_addr );
So the following assertion is unnecessary:
> + ASSERT( p_guid[0] == 0x00 && p_guid[1] == 0x1a && p_guid[2] ==
> 0x4b);
Next, if the code here:
> + p_mac_addr->addr[0] = 0;
> + p_mac_addr->addr[1] = 0x1a;
> + p_mac_addr->addr[2] = 0x4b;
> + p_mac_addr->addr[3] = p_guid[5];
> + p_mac_addr->addr[4] = p_guid[6];
> + p_mac_addr->addr[5] = p_guid[7];
Used the values from the GUID in the upper 3 bytes, the three functions could be replaced with as single common function. Maybe name it "ipoib_easy_mac_from_guid" or something.
This would result in your patch being a net reduction in code, which is a good thing.
