Jason,

As Moni stated, this isn't a shortcut, its one solution to the problem 
of the user being unable to see their rdma-cm based sessions. For the 
time I believe that debugfs can do the job of raising the visibility of 
rdma connections from zero to something one can work with which isn't 
random and isn't hack.  A more sophisticated, netlink based solution is 
possible, we'd love to see patches from other people doing that.

Or.
