I've just committed changes some changes to both the kernel and
userspace side of userspace verbs support. The kernel-user ABI has
changed, which means that for example, old userspace binaries will not
work with a new kernel. In other words, if you update your svn tree,
make sure to update it all and rebuild both userspace and your kernel.
I _hope_ this will be the last such ABI change required. I am
planning on sending userspace verbs support upstream for review and
(we hope) merging as soon as I finish a few minor cleanups and produce
a patch series. Once uverbs is merged in the upstream kernel, I will
always change IB_USER_VERBS_ABI_VERSION when an incompatible change is
made, so this sort of breakage will be avoided.
Thanks,
Roland
