[ofw] patch: [ibbus] Add A new function to IBAL that allows one to create a multicast group without attaching a QP to it.

Hi Fab,

Indeed this is something that I did not think about.

I guess that in order to keep the current model we should add the ib_al_handle_t parameter into the no_qp multicast scenario.

Thanks

Hi Tzachi,

I noticed that in the no_qp case, you don't attach the mcast object to anything.  Shouldn't it be tracked somewhere, or are we going to let it just float about in memory?  Note that the latter breaks the current contract where IBAL provides cleanup if someone simply calls ib_close_al.  It's not that I'm opposed to such a change, I just want to make sure it's a conscious one.

On some occasions one might have to create a multicast group but does not want to attach a QP to it.

The following new function enables this functionality.

Any comments (including to function names) are welcomed.

Thanks
Tzachi & Irena

+*                           There were insufficient resources currently available on the channel
+*                           adapter to perform the operation.
+*
+*           IB_INVALID_PKEY
+*                           The pkey specified in the multicast join request does not match the
+*                           pkey of the queue pair.
+*
+*           IB_INVALID_PORT
+*                           The port GUID specified in the multicast join request does not match
+*                           the port of the queue pair.
+*
+*           IB_ERROR
+*                           An error occurred while performing the multicast group join operation.
+*
+*           IB_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES
+*                           There were insufficient resources currently available to complete
+*                           the request.
+*
+*           IB_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
+*                           There was insufficient memory to complete the request.
+*
+* NOTES
+*           This routine results in the specified queue pair joining a multicast
+*           group.  If the multicast group does not already exist, it will be created
+*           at the user's option.  Information about the multicast group is returned
+*           to the user through a callback specified through the p_mcast_req
+*           parameter.
+*
+*           If the specified queue pair is already a member of a multicast group when
+*           this call is invoked, an error will occur if there are conflicting
+*           membership requirements.  The QP is restricted to being bound to a single
+*           port_guid and using a single pkey.
