Proposals for this track

* Backporting issues with multi-subsystem device (RDMA + netdev + more)

More and more devices in RDMA are dependent on netdev as well as other subsystems -- target, NFS, scsi, block, cgroups, SELinux.... Can we make backporting task for distro people easier ?

* Paravirtual RDMA device

QEMU's limited RDMA support leaves it behind other modern hypervisors. Marcel and/or Yuval will present the implementation of an emulated RDMA device, analyze its performance and usability, and finally talk about future plans for a possible virtio-rdma device. (slides)

* RDMA and the Linux IP stack

Lets try to avoid using specialized tools and APIs for the RDMA stack and try to support the Linux network tools and APIs as much as possible.
