Subject: RE: InfiniBand/RDMA merge plans for 2.6.36

Hello Roland, 

What about a series from Aleksey Senin 

[PATCH V1 0/4] New RAW_PACKET QP type
[PATCH V1 1/4] Rename RAW_ETY to RAW_ETHERTYPE
[PATCH V1 2/4]  New RAW_PACKET QP  type definition
[PATCH V1 3/4] Security check on QP type
[PATCH V1 4/4] Add RAW_PACKET to ib_attach/detach mcast calls

And my patch RDMA/nes: IB_QPT_RAW_PACKET QP type support for nes driver
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/110252/

I see only one patch from that series in your plans

Aleksey Senin (1):
      IB: Rename RAW_ETY to RAW_ETHERTYPE

Regards,

Mirek

Subject: InfiniBand/RDMA merge plans for 2.6.36

Since 2.6.35 is here, it's probably a good time to talk about 2.6.36
merge plans.  All the pending things that I'm aware of are listed below.

Boilerplate:

If something isn't already in my tree and it isn't listed below, I
probably missed it or dropped it unintentionally.  Please remind me.

As usual, when submitting a patch:

 - Give a good changelog that explains what issue your patch
   addresses, how you address the issue, how serious the issue is, and
   any other information that would be useful to someone evaluating
   your patch now, or trying to understand it years from now.

 - Please make sure that you include a "Signed-off-by:" line, and put
   any extra junk that should not go into the final kernel log *after*
   the "---" line so that git tools strip it off automatically.  Make
   the subject line be appropriate for inclusion in the kernel log as
   well once the leading "[PATCH ...]" stuff is stripped off.  I waste a
   lot of time fixing patches by hand that could otherwise be spent
   doing something productive like watching youtube.

 - Run your patch through checkpatch.pl so I don't have to nag you to
   fix trivial issues (or spend time fixing them myself).

 - Check your patch over at least enough so I don't see a memory leak
   or deadlock as soon as I look at it.

 - Build your patch with sparse checking ("C=2 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__")
   and make sure it doesn't introduce new warnings.  (A big bonus in
   goodwill for sending patches that fix old warnings)

 - Test your patch on a kernel with things like slab debugging and
   lockdep turned on.

And while you're waiting for me to get to your patch, I sure wouldn't
mind if you read and commented on someone else's patch.  We currently
have a big imbalance between people who are writing patches (many) and
people who are reviewing patches (mostly me).  None of this means you
shouldn't remind me about pending patches, since I often lose track of
things and drop them accidentally.

I don't think it makes sense to break down what I merged by topics
this time around -- there wasn't anything big that I can think of.  It
was really just a matter of small improvements, fixes, and cleanups
all over.

Here are a few topics I'm tracking that are not ready in time for the
2.6.36 window and will need to wait for 2.6.37 at least:

 - XRC.  While I think we made significant progress here, the fact is
   that this is not ready to merge at the beginning of the merge
   window, and so we'll need to keep working on it and wait for the
   next merge window.  I think this is just blocked on me at the
   moment.

 - IBoE.  Same as XRC; we made significant progress (and I opened an
   iboe branch to track this), and I think we have finally gotten the
   user-kernel interface nailed down yet, but it's just too late.

 - ummunotify-as-part-of-uverbs.  I'm working on this but don't have
   anything ready for the merge window.

 - AF_IB work.  I have not even had a chance to think about this yet,
   since I haven't dug through earlier backlog items.

 - mlx4 SR-IOV support.  See AF_IB above.
