Out of curiousity, does this patch series reduce the delta between the
NFS/RDMA tree and mainline Linux?  In other words does this bring
NFS/RDMA closer to merging?

Hi Roland-

The client side support for an RPC/RDMA module is almost completely integrated into mainline. There is still a minimal set of patches required to support alternate transports in loadable kernel modules which Trond has indicated he will integrate when the RPC/RDMA transport is ready to be integrated.

At this time I'm not aware of a plan to integrate server-side support for NFS/RDMA. Perhaps the NetApp RDMA developers could respond.
