This is true not only for the distro but also for those needing to make changes because f.e. some things are broken. Its much easier to send out a single patch vs the "big library" instead of 3 separate ones against libibverbs, libmlx5, libmlx4. Keeping track of that is a nightmare. Ideally there should be a lib directory in the kernel where the stuff lives so that a single patch can make the necessary changes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
