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.

Best regards,
