Christoph's questions are fair. There should at least be a short write-up that describes how this driver fits into the RDMA stack. (Maybe there are links with additional details that could be provided?) For example, we know from Ira's patches and comments that OPA uses IB like management and supports the same verbs as the qib driver. It's hard to piece this together from separate email threads or by looking at 56,000 lines of code. I'm less concerned about the PSM support myself, as that's self-contained to this driver and doesn't impact the rest of the stack. But at least clarify how it relates to other kernel modules (ib_cm, rdma_cm, ipoib, etc.), if at all. - Sean -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
