Hi Jason, after a thorough internal discussion we concluded that your point is indeed valid one. So in that respect, will resubmit the patches and do the index allocation the way it was intended. This will cost us with some field/upgrade issues but we agree that this is for the greater && good.

So if not abusing... can you now review && acknowledge this series which is a respin + fixes in the series Sean posted earlier this year, Sean ditto for you, any feedback or ack on the series sans the pointer reservation which we will remove. As Yishai wrote, he's OOO for a week so work might be resumed only when he's back, and once this is done will re-submit ASAP Or -- 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
