[Pvfs2-developers] Using bmi_method_addr_reg_callback()

[Scott Atchley]

Hi all,

In the BMI IB method, when BMI_ib_method_addr_lookup() is called with  
a new IB host string (ib://hostname:port/filesystem), it calls  
ib_alloc_method_addr() to malloc a new ib_method_addr_t using  
alloc_method_addr() but it does not call bmi_method_addr_reg_callback().

It appears that the server calls bmi_method_addr_reg_callback() but  
not the client. Why is this?

Why not call bmi_method_addr_reg_callback() as soon as the allocs the  
new ib_method_addr_t?

Thanks,

Scott
