Do you know how soon > distros will pick up the rdma-plumbing stuff? Hopefully things will be clearer after the call on Tuesday. I'm hoping we can begin the process sooner than later. There are 4 new drivers being submitted and at least 2-3 more kernel drivers that are not yet in Debian/SuSE/etc. By far the simplest way to push those 6 new user space drivers into the distros will be via rdma-plumbing, I'm optimistic that the vendors will work together on this. > It seems like it should be fairly straightforward to include the libpvrdma git > within the rdma-plumbing git as well. Let me know what the process is since > I may have to discuss it internally. For now, you can prepare your own clone and create a providers/pvrdma directory similar to the others. It should be very straightforward. Let me know if you have any problems. You should ensure clean compilation on FC24 (for instance using the provided docker tooling), and review the commit stream in rdma-plumbing to make sure you pick up all the systemic fixes that have already been done to the other providers. If Doug accepts your provider upstream before we finalize rdma-plumbing then I will add your git to the giant merge, however please make my life easier and ensure the code does not have any of the systemic problems I alreadly fixed in other providers :( After finalization you'll have to post your user space provider to the mailing list and Doug will pick it up.
