Hi Chuck, I must be missing something because I don't see _any_ trace of the core RPC over RDMA support (xprtrdma et al), your RPC Transport Switch, or any of the other supporting changes in mainline. Could you, or others, please clarify the plan for merging RPC/RDMA? > 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. Do you mean the NFS/RDMA server code from Tom Tucker of Open Grid Computing? Why wouldn't this code be included? please advise, thanks.
