And we would like to continue to do so, be it by setting a flag or otherwise. I hope removing that functionality from the kernel is not an option, as it would be a major inconvenience for us.

There are 2 vendors that I'm aware of that use linux for their embedded IB switch platforms: Mellanox and Bay Microsystems and there may be others. Mellanox has switch drivers for the various different switch ICs that have been used over time (InfiniScale IV, SwitchX/SwitchX-2, and most Switch-IB). -- Hal This correspondence, and any attachments or files transmitted with this correspondence, contains information which may be confidential and privileged and is intended solely for the use of the addressee.
