We have a potential volunteer for rdma_core backports but they need to better understand the work and the potential time commitments. Vlad, can you give us a brief summary on the level of work required and time commitments for rdma_core?
Also, we have not heard back from Chelsio, Huawei, and Cavium regarding future OFED releases and support.
