Hello Eli!
I'm referring to the thread below, where you explained the rational of
calling skb_orphan() after post_send() in UD path:
[ewg] Re: [PATCH] call skb_orphan() after sending an SKB
http://lists.openfabrics.org/pipermail/ewg/2008-February/005739.html

Looking at cm_send path I don't see that call. Is there any reason not to
do that here?

void ipoib_cm_send(struct net_device *dev, struct sk_buff *skb, struct 
ipoib_cm_tx *tx)
{
...
        if (unlikely(post_send(priv, tx, tx->tx_head & (ipoib_sendq_size - 1),
                               addr, skb->len))) {
                ipoib_warn(priv, "post_send failed\n");
                ++priv->stats.tx_errors;
                ib_dma_unmap_single(priv->ca, addr, skb->len, DMA_TO_DEVICE);
                dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
        } else {
                dev->trans_start = jiffies;
                ++tx->tx_head;

                if (++priv->tx_outstanding == ipoib_sendq_size - 1) {
                        ipoib_dbg(priv, "%s: TX ring 0x%x full,"
                                  "stopping kernel net queue\n", __func__,
                                  tx->qp->qp_num);
                        netif_stop_queue(dev);
                }
        }
}

Thanks and regards

Nam
