Bug Description

While in the past all rdma related libraries (e.g. ibutils, libibverbs, librdmacm and others)
had their own git repository, everything including the userspace drivers are now merged
into a single upstream repository.

Please make use of https://github.com/linux-rdma/rdma-core as that are the drivers and libraries
which are supposed to be compatible with modern kernels.

It would be really good if 18.04 would have that fixed and provide proper rdma support
out of the box.

Thanks Stefan for the report and to pull out the related Debian bug already.
Yet there is no activity on the ITP for a long time.

Do you happen to know about Talat still working on it?

Subscribing Rafael and Brian who I know to work with Talat in the past - do you happen to know anything about the state of this work?
