Thanks for that link. But what I actually was referring to was the tree exposed at git://git.openfabrics.org/ofed_1_4/linux-2.6.git and why that one does neither track kernel.org upstream, nor the 2.6.27.y stable series, but is stuck on the known buggy 2.6.27. of course I can easily merge in the stable 2.6.27.26 in my local checkout of ofed_1_4. I already did. no problem there. but I was wondering about the status of the git://git.openfabrics.org/ofed_1_4/linux-2.6.git tree, whether that is supposed to be the "most uptodate official ofed_1_4" kernel, and whether or not it is going to be updated to either track some stable series, or linux-2.6 master.
