Hello.

In article [ref] (at Thu, 29 Jun 2006 09:54:37 -0700), Roland Dreier [off-list ref] says:

and seems important enough to respond to]

Dave, you're going to have to be more specific.  What do you mean by
RDMA?  The whole drivers/infiniband infrastructure, which handles RDMA
over IB, has been upstream for a year and a half, and was in fact
originally merged by you, so I'm guessing that's not what you mean.
NET_DMA things.
