instead.. We don't want to disable drivers just because a user interface is disabled.Why does CONFIG_INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS disable building rdma_cm.ko?Thatquoted

is not correct.That seems like a reasonable thing to do..rdma_ucm.ko is for usermode users, rdma_cm.ko is for kernel users, and is required for iwarp drivers. It seems rdma_cm.ko is not being compiled if ADDR_TRANS is not set.I think the intention was to completely disable rdma-cm, including all support for rx'ing remote packets? Greg?Yes. That's my goal when INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS is unset.quoted
If this is required for iwarp then Arnd's patch is probably the right way to go.. JasonAgreed. Acked-by: Greg Thelen <redacted>If that's the case, then there should be a NOTE: in the Kconfig that disabling the connection manager completely disables iWARP hardware. I don't really think I like this approach though. At a minimum if you are going to make iWARP totally dependent on rdmacm, then there is zero reason that iw_cm.o should be part of the obj-$(CONFIG_INFINIBAND) Makefile recipe when ADDR_TRANS is disabled.
This makes sense, Greg, can you send a followup patch with these items? I know this series has been tough.. Thanks, Jason
