Hi, Currently, the vmw_pvrdma driver is included as a tech preview. It still requires its userspace component (libvmw_pvrdma) from rdma-core. It would be part of rdma-core-13 release I think. If OFED decides to use rdma-core-12 release, we would need some way to add the PVRDMA library as well (maybe a tech preview?). Not sure, but other recently added vendors to the linux kernel (qedr) can run into a similar issue.
