No mention about the iwarp port space issue?
Here is the status of the current proposed patch:
- needs another round of changes based on Sean's feedback
- Arkady raised issues about the pain this puts on admins
- it forces services like nfs-rdma, which already separates the nfs-rdma
server by port number, to needlessly use a separate subnet for the rdma
service.
I'm at a loss as to how to proceed.
Any ideas?
Steve.

Since 2.6.23 still isn't out, and I've managed to reduce my patch
review backlog a bit, it's probably a good idea to give another update
about what I have queued for 2.6.24 already and what I hope to get to
before the merge window opens.
Core:
- My user_mad P_Key index support patch. Merged this, although I
still owe Sasha a patch to update libraries to use this.
- A fix to the user_mad 32-bit big-endian userspace 64/32 problem
with the method_mask when registering agents. Merged.
- Sean's QoS changes. Merged.
- Sean's IB CM MRA interface changes. I merged these -- what the
heck, if it breaks we can back them out.
ULPs:
- Pradeep's IPoIB CM support for devices that don't have SRQs. Sean
started reviewing but I didn't see any updated patches.
- Moni's IPoIB bonding support. Seems like we found a clean set of
changes, and these will go in via another (Jeff Garzik's?) tree.
- Rolf's IPoIB MGID scope changes. No review progress here.
- Eli and Michael's IPoIB stateless offload (checksum offload, LSO,
LRO, etc). Not much review progress here; I'll try to chip away at
the series and see what we can get into 2.6.24.
- Or's IPoIB/userspace multicast coexistence stuff. I think we've
converged on this; I'll merge this once a final version of the
patch appears.
HW specific:
- I already merged patches to enable MSI-X by default for mthca and
mlx4. I hope there aren't too many systems that get hosed if a
MSI-X interrupt is generated.
- Jack and Michael's mlx4 FMR support. Merged. I guess the fix for
running in Xen domU may need to wait for 2.6.25, but I'll see what
I can do.
- ehca patch queue. Merged everything I think.
- Steve's mthca router mode support. No one looked at it, seems like
it's at risk of missing the window.
- Arthur's mthca doorbell alignment fixes. I still need to check
various approaches; I'll definitely merge something for 2.6.24.
- Michael's mlx4 WQE shrinking patch. May miss the window and go for
2.6.25, I'll see if I can get to it.
Here are a few topics that I believe will not be ready in time for the
2.6.24 window and will need to wait for 2.6.25:
- Multiple CQ event vector support. I haven't seen any discussions
about how ULPs or userspace apps should decide which vector to use,
and hence no progress has been made since we deferred this during
the 2.6.23 merge window.
- XRC. Given the length of the backlog above and the fact that a
first draft of this code has not been posted yet, I don't see any
way that we could have something this major ready in time.
BOILERPLATE
===========
I keep patches in a git tree, available from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git
There are several branches of interest in this tree:
for-2.6.23 - changes queued for merging into the current kernel release
for-2.6.24 - changes queued for the next merge window
for-linus - changes I have asked Linus to pull upstream
for-mm - pulled by Andrew for inclusion in -mm
I frequently rewrite history and rebase my tree, so the best way to
track it is to keep a clone of Linus's tree around and then pull a
fresh copy of my tree with
git clone --reference /path/to/linus/tree \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/roland/infiniband.git
If you would like me to merge a patch, please send it to me as soon as
it is ready. Do NOT wait for the merge window to open; if your change
is not strictly a fix and you send it to me after the merge window
opens, then it will likely have to wait for the next merge window.
Please let me know if your patch is a fix that should go into the
current release or if it can wait for the next merge window; if it is
a fix, please describe the severity of the issue your are fixing, so I
can make a good judgement about which release it should go into.
Including a good changelog entry that explains what you are changing,
why you are changing it, and how your change accomplishes your goal
will greatly increase the chance of your patch being merged promptly.
Getting an independent review and a Reviewed-by: line also helps a lot.
The files Documentation/SubmittingPatches and Documentation/SubmitChecklist
in kernel source tree also have a lot of good advice that makes it
easier for me to handle your patches.
