Thanks for you comment. I am new to the process. I have a few
questions regarding to this and hope you can help. First of all,
the patch is mostly for IB. Is it possible for the patch to just go
through the RDMA branch, since most of the changes are in RDMA?
Yes, it can, we (RDMA) will handle it.
Probably, although it's better to teach them some process sooner
rather than later?
Like Jason wrote above, shared branch is valuable once the submitter has
enough volume to justify. In previous cycles, when we needed it, I simply
created shared branch [1] for them.
Even we (Nvidia), who has enough patch volume, sometimes prefer to
delay submission to next cycle and don't bother ourselves with shared
branch.
