I am getting *very* irritated with the rdma pull requests.

I'm looking at your commits, and they have all been done on a Friday
evening between 4pm and 11pm (with the bulk being after 9pm).

So what the hell happened in the rdma subsystem the rest of the week?
That's just *odd*. Why am I getting a pull request on a Saturday with
stuff that was done late Friday night?

Can you understand why it feels very hurried to me, and why I get a
feeling that you're timing your work and your pull requests for the rc
releases on a Sunday?

What testing did this branch get during the week? Several patches have
dates from a month ago, but regardless they all show this pattern of
looking like they were hurriedly committed the night before being sent
off..

It just fails the smell test.  What's going on here?
