One Line Summary

Abstract

Like the networking system, the RDMA subsystem requires some boot time configuration and initialisation. Provide a brief overview of the latest work in this area and discuss design options for the next steps. Topics include persistent naming of RDMA devices, kernel module auto-loading for uAPIs, systemd boot time ordering challenges.

Several design options revolve around the new RDMA netlink interface.
