[PATCH 1/2] IB/Verbs: Use helpers to refine the checking on transport and link layer

From: Michael Wang
Date: Wed Mar 25 2015 - 07:13:05 EST



There are too many lengthy code to check the transport type of IB device,
or the link layer type of it's port, this patch set try to use some helper to
refine and save us some code.

TODO:
Currently we inferred from the transport type and link layer type to identify
the way of management, it will be better if we can directly get the indicator
from vendor.

Sean proposed one suggestion:

It may need a big work to adapt current implementation to utilize
these flags elegantly.

Also the performance concern on query_port() need to be addressed, may be
some new callback like query_mgmt() could works.
