Given the amount of stuff I have on the radar for going through the staging tree (two deprecated drivers to be removed entirely, plan is move to staging in 4.3, delete from tree in 4.6, this driver and one other as-of-yet-to-be-submitted driver to be added to tree, both drivers have the same major TODO item, which is to be converted to use a library for their transfer engine, which also requires writing said library), I’m wondering if it isn’t worthwhile to create a staging/infiniband directory, remove your name and driverdevel from the maintainer entry for the directory and redirect it to linux-rdma, and delete it when this work has passed. — Doug Ledford <dledford@xxxxxxxxxx> GPG Key ID: 0E572FDD
