I don't see how I can justify merging this (for now at least), given that there are no actual users of all this (fairly complex) new code, besides a sample that doesn't actually do anything useful.

Why do we need immediate invalidation of memory regions? - R. -- 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
