Hello FreeBSD IB,

What is the procedure to change between Infiniband Connected Mode and Datag=
ram Mode
at runtime on FreeBSD 12.2?

I've seen different references on the WEB, but the procedure still seems un=
clear.

In one reference https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-infiniband/201=
3-May/000032.html
refers to the Linux procedure, which is not applicable on FreeBSD.

Another reference, https://wiki.freebsd.org/InfiniBand, implies the driver =
must be recompiled
to change modes.

Yet another, https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-infiniband/2013-Ju=
ne/000047.html
Suggests it can be done at runtime to add a tuneable/sysctl but doesn't spe=
cify any details...

Is the solution to maybe compile the drivers twice, once for CM and once fo=
r DM, keeping both around
and loading the desired one?

Thanks
Greg Foster
