We believe that this version is suitable for merging when 2.6.11 opens (or into -mm immediately), although of course we are willing to go through as many more iterations as required to fix any remaining issues. The previous posting last week did not generate many comments. We have fixed all the minor glitches identified, and updated the copyright/license comments in the source files so that no external files or URLs other than the main COPYING file are referenced (the license remains unchanged as dual GPL/BSD). In addition a fair bit of testing has been done and several bugs have been fixed over the past week. The IP-over-InfiniBand driver now appears to work well on a broad range of hardware. Merging these patches should be low-risk: the only non-documentation changes outside of the new drivers/infiniband tree are a small set of networking patches to handle devices of type AF_INFINIBAND where appropriate. These patches have been posted to netdev@oss.sgi.com multiple times. Linus/Andrew - is there any further that you want to see done, or do these patches look acceptable to you?
