Because such regions are based on the exact bytes targeted by the memory handle, the offset can be set to any value, typically zero, but nearly arbitrary. As long as the (offset + length) does not wrap or otherwise overflow, offset can be set to anything convenient. Since SMB reads and writes range up to 8MB, I'd suggest zeroing the least significant 23 bits, which should guarantee it. The other 41 bits, party on. You could randomize them, pass some clever identifier such as MID sequence, whatever. Tom. > + v1->token = rdata->mr->mr->rkey; > + v1->length = rdata->mr->mr->length;
