I'll read this over and comment, but to be honest I agree with Dave: this is a new socket family, and as such it belongs under net/ and probably should go through Dave's tree (just as the NFS/RDMA changes went through the NFS trees and the 9p/RDMA changes went through the 9p tree); even though it heavily uses RDMA I think the upper layer interface to sockets/networking is more relevant. - R. _______________________________________________ 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
