What you're saying is 'shut up. mellanox can do > whatever they like as long as it's hidden behind pcie id'. No, what I'm saying is, discuss things. And if in the end you agree with Mellanox, we don't have flapping of the change in and out of the tree over and over. My understanding is that this FPGA offloads processing the data stream, which in a way is not much different than JIT'ing eBPF onto Netronome cpus. :-) Maybe the programming interface is different, maybe all the algorithms are implemented in discrete ASICs, but effect is quite similar. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
