Hi Arlin,

VMware is committed to OFED. Unfortunately, some of the updates we 
have will get into 5.5 (and would require a rdma-core update).
If you decide to release OFED-5.3, there is a backport fix I’ll need to 
send out (it was caught internally). Its already accepted upstream 
into 5.4.

Thanks,
Adit
