Dave, There is no support for RDMA/TCP in linux today, nor in Roland's git tree for that matter. I have posted a patch series for RDMA/TCP core support to lklm and netdev over the last few weeks and gone through 3 review cycles. (see "iWARP Core Changes" threads). In addition, I posted the Ammasso RDMA driver for review as well. It also went through 3 review cycles. Based on review feedback and lack of any serious issues, it was my understanding that everyone was comfortable with RDMA/TCP. Nothing underhand was going on here. Steve.
