      IB/mlx4: Optimize QP stamping · 9670e553
      Eli Cohen authored 
      The idea is that for QPs with fixed size work requests (eg selective
signaling QPs), before stamping the WQE, we read the value of the DS
field, which gives the effective size of the descriptor as used in the
previous post.  Then we stamp only that area, since the rest of the
descriptor is already stamped.

When initializing the send queue buffer, make sure the DS field is
initialized to the max descriptor size so that the subsequent stamping
will be done on the entire descriptor area.

      IB/sa: Fail requests made while creating new SM AH · 164ba089
      Moni Shoua authored 
      This patch solves a race that occurs after an event occurs that causes
the SA query module to flush its SM address handle (AH).  When SM AH
becomes invalid and needs an update it is handled by the global
workqueue.  On the other hand this event is also handled in the IPoIB
driver by queuing work in the ipoib_workqueue that does multicast
joins.  Although queuing is in the right order, it is done to 2
different workqueues and so there is no guarantee that the first to be
queued is the first to be executed.

This causes a problem because IPoIB may end up sending an request to
the old SM, which will take a long time to time out (since the old SM
is gone); this leads to a much longer than necessary interruption in
multicast traffer.

The patch sets the SA query module's SM AH to NULL when the event
occurs, and until update_sm_ah() is done, any request that needs sm_ah
fails with -EAGAIN return status.

For consumers, the patch doesn't make things worse.  Before the patch,
MADs are sent to the wrong SM so the request gets lost.  Consumers can
be improved if they examine the return code and respond to EAGAIN
properly but even without an improvement the situation is not getting
worse.

      RDMA: Fix license text · a9474917
      Sean Hefty authored 
      The license text for several files references a third software license
that was inadvertently copied in.  Update the license to what was
intended.  This update was based on a request from HP.

      IB/srp: Remove use of cached P_Key/GID queries · 969a60f9
      Roland Dreier authored 
      The SRP initiator is currently using ib_find_cached_pkey() and
ib_get_cached_gid() in situations where the uncached ib_find_pkey()
and ib_query_gid() functions serve just as well: sleeping is allowed
and performance is not an issue.  Since we want to eliminate the
cached operations in the long term, convert SRP to use the uncached
variants.

      firmware: Correct dependency on CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR · 50515af2
      David Woodhouse authored 
      When CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR gets changed, the filename in the .S file
(which uses .incbin to include the binary) needs to change. When we
renamed the BUILTIN_FIRMWARE_DIR option to EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR, we forgot
to update the manual dependency in firmware/Makefile, so it was
depending on a non-existent file in include/config/
