I'm assuming that you don't have RDMA HW, so let's start from
compilation only task.

You can start from fixing smatch and sparse compilation warnings.

Smatch:
make -j 32 CHECK=smatch -p=kernel drivers/infiniband
Sparse:
make -j 32 CHECK=sparse C=1 CF='-fdiagnostic-prefix -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__' -p=kernel drivers/infiniband

And we will be thrilled to see your patches merged.

Thanks
