I don't think FDR10 support is available through ibverbs on linux yet, but would this be acceptable? Is there some other way that you'd like to handle this? The other option I can think of is moving is_fdr10() and sys_read_string() out of ibstat.c and into a linux specific file, so that windows can provide its own implementation. Thoughts?
I think there are 2 (related but somewhat separate) issues here:
1. How to obtain is_fdr10
2. Whether ibverbs should be used for this (in windows, linux, both)
The only way to determine whether fdr10 is active or not is via the
vendor proprietary MAD. That info may be reflected in some other API
(and/or file) so that MAD does not need to be reissued. In a separate
thread on linux-rdma, there was discussion on a couple of different
ways to do that from verbs and in this thread that there's no sysfs
equivalent in Windows. You've already stated that the Windows support
is using libibverbs for libibumad support so it seems appropriate to
me to do the same here (in Windows at least).
