[ewg] Status of SDP? (and ib_sdp patch for Linux-3.4.x)

[richard Croucher]

IMHO Mellanox would rather sell you their VMA than have you use a free
SDP.  I assume that they have stopped maintaining  SDP.

It's a great shame to see it dropped.  It a good way for people to get
going with InfiniBand, particularly since IPoIB performance is so poor.
