Sure.

There are two methods to create new child interface for IPoIB.
For a specific P_Key, write the desired P_Key to the create_child sysfs
file:
# echo 0x8000 > /sys/class/net/ib0/create_child
This creates a new interface ib0.8000 operating with P_Key 0x8000.

To create a new child interface on the default P_Key, its possible to
use iproute:
# ip link add link ib0 name ib0.1 type ipoib

In order to create a new network namespace:
# ip netns add ns1

Then, you can assign the new netdev to the namespace:
# ip link set ib0.1 netns ns1

You can then set an IP address in the network namespace, and try some
RDMA CM applications:
# ip netns exec ns1 ip addr add dev ib0.1 192.168.0.1/24
# ip netns exec ns1 rdma_server

Haggai
