This is about adding rtnl_link_ops to IPoIB, primarly addressing feedback
from Dave on a similar patch that was part of the eIPoIB submission.

Roland, this patch is hanging out for pretty long while (few months) without
any comment from you, if it makes things easier, I would like to merge it through
net-next, makes sense?

Hi Roland,

Haven't heard from you on this patch, are you picking this or it can
get in though net-next?

Nobody has given any generic networking review to this patch yet, and given
that I'd be very disappointed if Roland went ahead and applied this.

You never need to ping people over issues like this and it's extremely
irritating that you keep doing this.

Everything you need to know is at:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/

And you can clearly see your patch sitting there in "Under Review"
state.

You simply need to be patient and wait for people to get to reviewing
your patch rather than forcing the issue with pings.  We track patches
in patchwork so we don't need to waste time with "pings"
