#498 changed the default lwt engine to libev.
For rdma environments users will want to override this lwt engine by setting the ALBA_LWT_ENGINE env variable to rselect.
However, there is still an issue in that case: the process will not be able to handle more than 1024 file descriptors.
(Also commands such as asd-multistatistics will currently be really slow - apparently setting up new rdma connections takes a long time?)

So for full proper rdma support I think the following needs to happen:

  • fix the 1024 fd limit (in ordma package)
  • fix slowness of creating new connections (mellanox should pick this up?)
  • change default lwt engine to one that support rdma and tcp/ip that works for more than 1024 fds
