Hi, I have already worked on monitoring rdma connection from kernel (and also user) part. I used netlink to send data to userland and I made a simple program to get theses information and print it. As it is a very simple implementation (I am still a student and I just started to work in kernelland few months ago), it should not be a very strong code but it can give ideas, if never you need...
