IPoIB: Use multicast loopback blocking if available
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Set IB_QP_CREATE_BLOCK_MULTICAST_LOOPBACK for IPoIB's UD QPs if
supported by the underlying device.  This creates an improvement of up
to 39% in bandwidth when sending multicast packets with IPoIB, and an
improvment of 12% in cpu usage.
