Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Well, if it does work for you, fine ;-)
But it may get cumbersome now that there is already an in-tree drbd,
with a somewhat different layout of files, and the split of an additional

Sorry.
The workaround mentioned before, respectively patching OFED kernel[*],
did work last time I tried.
Performance tuning is a different thing altogether.

[*] I think it was something like this

diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c b/drivers/infiniband/core/addr.c

 	} else
