How does send with invalidate interact with the current IB FMR stuff? Seems that you would run into trouble keeping the state of the FMR straight if the remote side is invalidating them. Also I would think that send-with-invalidate would be much more expensive than the current FMR method of batching up the invalidates, since you don't get to amortize the cost of syncing up all the internal HCA state. - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
