I was about to post v2 of my patch to avoid port space collisions with the native stack. Can we get that 2.6.24? It is high priority IMO. I've tried to solicit review on it, but I think folks are reluctant... ;-)

Well, if it involves /sharing/ port space with the native stack, i.e. where port 1234 is IB but 1235 is Linux, pretty much all the networking devs have NAK'd that approach AFAICS.

Jeff, I posted a fix that doesn't do this. No port sharing. The iwarp device will use its own ip address and subnet to avoid collisions. You should review the patch when I post v2.

Sounds promising, then! :)
