This series brings forth the discussion we had tuesday in the EWG meeting.
Chelsio is proposing ofed developers use the linux-next-cherry-picks
directory for patches upstream and critical to a driver's functionality,
yet too big for the stable flow. Once OFED releases with a new kernel
that includes these patches, they will be removed from the dir.

Hi All,
I have added a patch-series in linux-next-cherry-picks directory.
This patch-series is already merged with linux-next. However it is too
big to go into stable branch. It is required for Chelsio's T4 adapter
correctness. Hence adding patches to linux-next-cherry-picks.
The patch series is available at following location.
beany.openfabrics.org:/home/vipulp/new_ofed/compat-rdma
Kindly review them and let me know if it's appropriate for
linux-next-cherry-picks.
Thanks,
Vipul.

linux-next-cherry-picks: Add DB drop recovery patches for
Chelsio's T4 adapter
This patch-series implements doorbell drop recovery for Chelsio T4
iWARP driver.
In the event where DBs are dropped application can get stalled for
one or more
reasons. So, we recover RDMA and LLD queues in such an event.
We also take care for handling DB overflow events.
The patch-series also has some bug fixes, adds RDMA debugfs stats
and removes
kfifo usage for ID mangement.
This patch-series is already merged with linux-next. However it is
too big to
go into stable branch. It is required for Chelsio's T4 adapter
correctness.
Hence adding them to linux-next-cherry-picks.
