Hi,=20

This is to inform you that by end of this week we plan to merge the OFED/RD=
MA stack update from the project - 'bsd_rdma_4_9' into 12-CURRENT.
The update aligns the OFED common code and RDMA vendor drivers with Linux v=
4.9.

We are still working on final modifications and build testing it prior to s=
ubmission.


For any concern/comments you might have, please don't hesitate contacting u=
s.

freebsd-drivers@mellanox.com


Regards,=20

Hi,



We (Mellanox) have started working on an OFED stack update based on Linux k=
ernel v4.9

We've decided to abandon our last update proposal, https://lists.freebsd.or=
g/pipermail/freebsd-infiniband/2016-March/000190.html,
based on MLNX OFED v3.2 as it wasn't generic enough.

This update will include changes in both kernel space (ib_core) and user sp=
ace (libibverbs, librdmacm) with direct effect over vendor drivers.

Important note: Linux kernel v4.9 contains some GPL-only code sections. Tho=
se introduce new API towards ULPs and will be excluded in the update proces=
s.
