Re: [ofa-general] Re: [PATCH RFC] RDMA/CMA: Allocate PS_TCP ports from the host TCP port space.

The correct solution, IMO, is to enhance the core low level 4-tuple 
allocation services to be more generic (eg: not be tied to a struct 
sock).  Then the host tcp stack and the host rdma stack can allocate 
TCP/iWARP ports/4tuples from this common exported service and share 
the port space.  This allocation service could also be used by other 
deep adapters like iscsi adapters if needed.

As a developer of an RDMA ULP, NFS-RDMA, I like this approach because 
it will simplify the configuration of an RDMA device and the services 
that use it.
