All:

I have a large set of patches that supports encoding RPC messages on an RDMA transport in the NFS server. The patches include changes to the existing SVC infrastructure as well as quite a bit of code in new files.

What is the best way to present these patches for review? We had thought that we could stage this in a git repository on linux-nfs.org.

Here's an annotated cumulative diffstat to give you an idea of the scope...

Unless there are just tons and tons of them, the best thing would probably be just to send them here, one patch to a message....

... but it could be helpful to have that as well.
