Thanks Roland for your quick inputs. I am able to clone your github for-next branch. I'll be checkin to your branch soon.

Please focus on upstream kernel first, then worry about OFED backports. My for-next tree is temporarily at https://github.com/rolandd/infiniband while kernel.org recovers from the security break. But really it's fine to work against Linus's 3.1-rc as well. At this point it's probably not realistic to expect your code to get into 3.2, but it's the perfect time to start reviewing for a 3.3 merge. Looking forward to seeing another RDMA adapter supported upstream... - Roland -- 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

create new library project and few queries to open source
Hi, 1. I would like to submit user space library for a new RDMA adapter. Can you please do needful for creating empty project under http://git.openfabrics.org/git/projects/~ppandit/libocrdma.git? 2. For adding hardware driver for a new RDMA adapter, to which git tree(s) do I need to submit patches? openfabrics.org as well as kernel.org or just openfabrics is sufficient? git://git.openfabrics.org/ofed_1_5/linux-2.6.git, branch ofed_kernel_1_5? and git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git, branch for-next? 4. I am little confused. pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git is not showing up in the list at http://git.kernel.org. Am I looking at wrong place? Or? 5. my_new_rdma_hw_driver that will be located in drivers/infiniband/hw/my_new_rdma_hw_driver directory, does it have to compile for all backports or only my desired kernel versions are sufficient for OFED 1.5.x, as I don't plan to support 2.6.22 and older kernel version? 6. If I have to support all backport kernel versions, do I need to submit patch for all the required kernel versions? Can this backport patches come at later stage?
