Linus has released 2.6.23-rc1, and so the merge window for new
features has closed. Of course fixes are always accepted at any time,
and it definitely makes sense to submit new features early -- I will
happily queue things up for 2.6.24 as soon as they are ready.
Several things missed the merge window:
- Sean's local SA changes. I guess I scared everyone into going
slow, so I didn't have to make a hard choice here. However let's
try to keep the discussion going so that we can finish this for
2.6.24.
- IPoIB CM without SRQ. Pradeep, I'm sorry this missed the window
but the patch quality really doesn't look up to par to me, and
your being in a rush to get this merged I think has actually slowed
things up. I think the basic idea is OK, but I have doubts about
a static array as a data structure, and MST's comments about not
dealing with remote implementations that send packets on passive
connections looks quite serious as well. I would like to close
this for 2.6.24 so (as above) please let's keep working this and
not wait for the 2.6.24 merge window.
- MST's "MSI-X by default" patches. The idea seems fine but I found
a few minor issues and just ran out of time to review it. My fault--
sorry.
And now I'm going on vacation for a week, so talk amongst yourselves...
