This series introduces IBNBD/IBTRS kernel modules.

IBNBD (InfiniBand network block device) allows for an RDMA transfer of block

IO

over InfiniBand network. The driver presents itself as a block device on

client

side and transmits the block requests in a zero-copy fashion to the

server-side

via InfiniBand. The server part of the driver converts the incoming buffers

back

into BIOs and hands them down to the underlying block device. As soon as IO
responses come back from the drive, they are being transmitted back to the
client.

Hey Jack, why is this IB specific?  Can it work over iWARP transports as well?

Steve.
