[openib-general] [PATCH RFC 0/2] ofed_1_2 - Chelsio T3 RDMA Support

[Steve Wise]

This series adds the Chelsio T3 drivers to the ofed_1_2 tree. For
this review, I've omitted the patch that actually adds the two drivers
themselves, and just included the changes to the ofed_1_2 configuration
scripts and the new kernel_patches/ files needed.  The driver code itself
is on track to go into either 2.6.20 or 2.6.21.

I would appreciate any feedback/comments on what I've done.  This is
just for review. I'm still testing it.


Here are the key changes:

The package now needs to visit drivers/net to build the T3 Ethernet
driver which is required for the T3 RDMA driver.

Added a patch to backport the Linux 2.6.20 genalloc() services.  I added
the allocator as local services to the T3 RDMA module.

Core changes are required for the T3 driver.  This includes the addition
of a udata pointer parameter to the ib_req_notify_cq() provider method.
This is still being discussed on the openib-general list and I'll update
it accordingly once we finalize the solution.


Steve.
