Not sure what other RDMA driver you are talking about but as for Cornelis Networks, we do have a packaged up version of our software. However it is meant to make things easier on end users to bridge the gap between the distro kernel drivers and the upstream kernel. It's definitely not a requirement and plenty of folks do use distro kernels/drivers. I'm not sure how many large sites are using something straight off kernel.org but the upstream hfi1 driver is 100% the real deal. We continually develop on and test the upstream kernel. Our goal is always to upstream patches first. We learned that lesson the hard way when we first tried to upstream hfi1. -Denny
