I also asked you why the port mapper code has to be present in each
iwarp driver and not part of the IB core stack, and you responded
"i40iw iwarp driver registers with port mapper and uses its services.
Beside that it is not the scope of the patch series"  -- well, it is
in the scope of upstream review to pose such questions, please
address.

Hey Or, 

There is a common service/API in the IB core for iWarp port mapping.  See drivers/infinbiand/core/iwpm*.c and include/rdma/iw_portmap.h.
