The key take away from the collab discussion was the changes to the common uAPI needs *multi-vendor* support. All I see is silence from everyone, and a bunch of patches that nobody wants to review. That isn't good enough. This is especially critical for RSS because it adds all sorts of new verbs objects that need hardware mappings! I see no formal specification for this, no IBTA/IETF support, and no voting. The other take away from the Collab discussion is that there is a reasonable opinion that linux-rdma is not the right forum to decide if major changes to the multi-vendor common-verbs APIs are OK. I don't know if we reached a consensus on this or not.
