Is there a thread on lkml listing it as an > issue for mainline inclusion? We haven't brought up rds inclusion on lkml yet, but I think positioning RDS as an IB protocol is a good thing. RDS may be a better fit in drivers/infiniband/ulp/rds, rather than net/rds, for example. Removing unused code is also always a good thing. Lastly, we're looking to extend rds with more ib-centric features in the future, so it would be a development burden to tunnel that over the TCP transport...and that starts to sound a lot like reinventing iwarp ;-) Regards -- Andy _______________________________________________ general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openfabrics.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
