Are there any objections from the network maintainers to adding these definitions? The rest of the changes from this series are restricted to the RDMA subsystem. Currently, the RDMA stack connects using IP addresses, which must be mapped to IB addresses. This change allows the RDMA stack to establish connections using native IB addresses. - Sean -- 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
