I think you would probably be better off developing the kernel driver as a branch in an up-to-date kernel tree, and then worrying about backports later. You could get rid of some of the redundant infrastructure like dump_hex() and crc32 (too bad IB didn't choose the CRC32C polynomial, so you can't use the crypto API and get Intel CRC32 instruction acceleration for free). - R. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
