Greg, Doug,

As mentioned below, these patches depend on the new rdmavt library submitted to
Doug on linux-rdma.

We continue to identify (and rework) patches by our other developers which can
be submitted without conflicts with this series.  Furthermore, We have, as much
as possible, placed fixes directly into rdmavt such that those changes can be
dropped from hfi1.  But at this point, we need to know if and where these are
going to land so that we can start reworking as appropriate.

Therefore, I would like to discuss plans to get hfi1 under the same maintainer
to work through this transitional period.

Basically, At what point should we stop submitting patches to Greg and start
submitting to Doug?

Should we consider the merge window itself as the swap over point and submit
changes to Doug at that point?  If so, should we continue to submit what we can
to Greg until then (and continue rebase'ing the series below on that work)?  Or
given Gregs backlog, should we stop submitting to Greg sometime prior to the
merge window?

That brings up my final question, at the point of swap over I assume anything
not accepted by Greg should be considered rejected and we need to resubmit to
Doug?

If Doug accepts the library changes, let me know that public git commit
and I can pull it into the staging-next branch and you can continue to
send me staging patches that way.

That's the easiest thing to do usually.

thanks,

greg k-h
