And actually the IB specs do appear to be available if you give them your name and address? So could one of you add some of this (the explanation of the security issues, at least) to Documentation/filesystems/nfs-rdma.txt? I'm worried about the fact that the amount of trust required in the network will vary so much depending on exactly which hardware and kernel version the user has. As long as this is relatively specialized hardware, perhaps it's not such a big deal.... But at the very least I think we should make sure this is carefully documented. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
