I'm a little dubious about this. We have an RMPP implementation in the kernel, and it seems worthwhile to focus on stability and features there. Allowing alternate RMPP implementations in userspace seems a bit iffy -- we don't have a socket option that lets us do TCP in userspace for a given connection, for example. -- Roland Dreier <[email protected]> || For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/index.html -- 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
