I might just be too blind to see an ofed there: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/projects/ofed/head/sys/contrib/ It's rdma I guess. It feels just awkward to have the glue in sys/mumble rather than completely bundled in sys/contrib/ofed/** like we do for ipfilter, pf, ... to my understanding. The real glue into our stack, I assume, sits in net*/* mostly. >> I guess similarly things in user space might go to contrib as well? > src/contrib is for code that's maintained outside the source tree that we > adapt. Are all user space tools hand-rolled or are they ported over as well? Maybe I should wait till Jeff will post the diff to see. /bz -- Bjoern A.
