Latest RFC can be found at [1]. At Doug's advice [2], we've decided to split the series into two: - first part contains the qed backbone that's necessary for all the configurations relating to the qedr driver, as well as the qede infrastructure that is used for communication between the qedr and qede. - Second part consists of the actual qedr driver and introduces almost no changes to qed/qede. This is the first of said two parts. The second half would be sent later this week. The only 'oddity' in the devision are the Kconfig options - As this series introduces both LL2 and QEDR-based logic in qed/qede, I wanted to add the CONFIG_INFINIBAND_QEDR option here [with default n]. Otherwise, a lot of the code introduced would be dead-code [won't even be compiled] until qedr is accepted. As a result I've placed the config option in an odd place - under qlogic's Kconfig. The second series would then remove that option and add it in its correct place under the infiniband Kconfig. [I'm fine with pushing it there to begin with, but I didn't want to 'contaminate' non-qlogic configuration files with half-baked options]. Dave - I don't think you were E-mailed with Doug's suggestion. I think the notion was to have the two halves accepted side-by-side, but actually the first has no dependency issues, so it's also possible to simply take this first to net-next, and push the qedr into rdma once it's merged. But it's basically up to you and Doug; We'd align with whatever suits you best. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- b462d22bf3a675dffbfe1cd7ad90eab633d822b7
