Date:   Thu Oct 1 17:01:34 2009 -0500

    When disabling NFSRDMA in the OFED install scripts, CONFIG_SYSCTL will
    be disabled.  Since this option is not only needed by NFS, this causes
    all others who use this option in OFED to be without it.  It should be
    sufficient to enable it if NFS is enabled (given the off-chance that it
    is not enabled by default), and leave it the way it is on the system if
    NFS is not enabled.
    
    This fixes bug 1758.

Subject: [PATCH] mlx4: remove limitation on LSO header size
    
    Current code has a limitation as for the size of an LSO header not allowed 
to
    cross a 64 byte boundary. This patch removes this limitation by setting the 
WQE
    RR for large headers thus allowing LSO headers of any size. The extra buffer
    reserved for MLX4_IB_QP_LSO QPs has been doubled, from 64 to 128 bytes,
    assuming this is reasonable upper limit to header length.
    Also, this patch will cause IB_DEVICE_UD_TSO to be set only of FW versions 
that
    set MLX4_DEV_CAP_FLAG_BLH; e.g. FW version 2.6.000 and higher.

    IB/mad: Fix lock-lock-timer deadlock in RMPP code
    
    Holding agent->lock across cancel_delayed_work() (which does
    del_timer_sync()) in ib_cancel_rmpp_recvs() leads to lockdep reports of
    possible lock-timer deadlocks if a consumer ever does something that
    connects agent->lock to a lock taken in IRQ context (cf
    http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&m=125243699026045).
    
    Fix this by changing the list items to a new state "CANCELING" while
    holding the lock, and then canceling the delayed work without holding
    the lock.  If the delayed work runs after the lock is dropped, it will
    see the state is CANCELING and return immediately, so the list will
    stay stable while we traverse it with the lock not held.
