All InfiniBand tests I have performed until now have been performed
with the InfiniBand kernel modules from the mainstream Linux kernel.
Since the ib_sdp kernel module is not included in this tree, I have
copied the sdp source code to the 2.6.22.9 kernel source tree and have
it built from there. This resulted in a build error: ib_create_cq() is
called from sdp_cma.c with five arguments while
include/rdma/ib_verbs.h specifies that it has six arguments. After I
added a sixth argument (zero), the module compiled and works fine.

Can the ib_sdp kernel module please be sent upstream ?

Bart.
