Roland, there is no way in the world we would have let support for RDMA into the kernel tree had we seen and reviewed it on netdev. I've discussed this with Andrew Morton, and we'd like you to please revert all of the RDMA code from Linus's tree immedialtely. Folks are well aware how against RDMA and TOE type schemes the Linux networking developers are. So the fact that none of these RDMA changes went up for review on netdev strikes me as just a little bit more than suspicious. Please do not do this again, thank you.
Dave, There is no support for RDMA/TCP in linux today, nor in Roland's git tree for that matter. I have posted a patch series for RDMA/TCP core support to lklm and netdev over the last few weeks and gone through 3 review cycles. (see "iWARP Core Changes" threads). In addition, I posted the Ammasso RDMA driver for review as well. It also went through 3 review cycles. Based on review feedback and lack of any serious issues, it was my understanding that everyone was comfortable with RDMA/TCP. Nothing underhand was going on here. Steve.
