Michael Guralnik says: ==================== This series handles IPoIB child interface creation with setting interface's HW address. In current implementation, lladdr requested by user is ignored and overwritten. Child interface gets the same GID as the parent interface and a QP number which is assigned by the underlying drivers. In this series we fix this behavior so that user's requested address is assigned to the newly created interface. As specific QP number request is not supported for all vendors, QP number requested by user will still be overwritten when this is not supported. Behavior of creation of child interfaces through the sysfs mechanism or without specifying a requested address, stays the same. ==================== Based on the mlx5-next branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux due to dependencies. * branch 'mlx5_ipoib_qpn': RDMA/ipoib: Handle user-supplied address when creating child net/mlx5: Enable QP number request when creating IPoIB underlay QP Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com>
