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

The hack to use a socket and bind it to claim the port was just for demostrating the idea. 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.

Since iWarp runs on top of TCP, the port space is really the same. FWIW, I agree that this proposal is the correct solution to support iWarp.
