[openib-general] [RFC] [PATCH 0/7] rdma_cm 2.6.20: add userspace support

[Sean Hefty]

The following patch series migrates rdma_cm features currently only in svn
to the mainline kernel.  I'd like to consider adding these features into
a branch targeting 2.6.20.

The patches were created against 2.6.19, and borrow heavily from code
checked into svn.  However, there are some notable differences.  Major
differences between svn and the patches being submitted will be noted in
individual patches.

Once these core set of changes are accepted into the kernel, I'd like
to avoid maintaining the following modules outside of the mainline tree:
ib_addr, ib_cm, ib_ucm, ib_multicast, rdma_cm, and rdma_ucm.  (And I
vote for including ib_core, ib_mad, ib_sa, ib_uverbs, ib_ipoib, and
ib_umad in that list.)
