[openib-general] [PATCH 1/14] NetEffect iWarp RNIC driver

One question regarding the userspace diff paths.  I've scanned other
email submissions and seen several different paths used that were
accepted.  All of the following have previously been used.

osm/opensm/osm_pkey_mgr.c
last_stable/src/userspace/libmthca/src/verbs.c
src/device.c 

Seems like I should use new/src/userspace/libnes/* to follow the
Mellanox style.  Is that correct?
For the kernel code I will use new/drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/*.

Thanks,
Glenn.

Glenn:

Thanks for posting the NES driver patch. This is great.

When you post a patch there are a few conventions that people usually
follow:

- The patch contents should not be an attachment. This is because people
like to reply to your patch with comments inline and including the patch
as an attachment does not facilitate this.

- BTW, You need to be careful with your mailer. Some mailers mess with
the white space.

- All patches should be plain text, not uuencoded, etc...

- The patchset should include a [PATCH 0/x] mail message that describes
what the patchset is for, "NES 10Gb RNIC Driver" or somesuch.

- Each patch should contain a signature line:
    Signed-off-by: Glenn Grundstrom <ggrundstrom at neteffect.com>

Take a look at some of the patches that have been submitted recently for
examples.

Also, here are some write ups with more extensive guidelines...

Please repost per the above and we'll get started.

Thanks again,
Tom
