Since rds goes upstream via netdev not linux-rdma, it's a little tricky.. any core ib helpers we added would not be in net-next so rds wouldn't build. :) Once net-next gets pushed to mainline and Roland pulls from that, then we'll be in a good position to put these helpers where they should go, and change other ULPs to use them. -- Andy -- 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
