Hi Roland-
The client side support for an RPC/RDMA module is almost completely integrated into mainline. There is still a minimal set of patches required to support alternate transports in loadable kernel modules which Trond has indicated he will integrate when the RPC/RDMA transport is ready to be integrated.
At this time I'm not aware of a plan to integrate server-side support for NFS/RDMA. Perhaps the NetApp RDMA developers could respond. begin:vcard fn:Chuck Lever n:Lever;Chuck org:Oracle Corporation;Corporate Architecture Linux Projects Group email;internet:chuck dot lever at nospam oracle dot com title:Principle Member of Staff tel;work:+1 248 614 5091 x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard
