4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Dennis Dalessandro <[email protected]> commit e1fafdcbe0e3e769c6a83317dd845bc99b4fe61d upstream. The initial code for rdmavt carried with it a restriction that was a vestige from the qib driver, that to dma map a page it had to be less than a page size. This is not the case on modern hardware, both qib and hfi1 will be just fine with unaligned map requests. This fixes a 4.8 regression where by an IPoIB transfer of > PAGE_SIZE will hang because the dma map page call always fails. This was introduced after commit 5faba5469522 ("IB/ipoib: Report SG feature regardless of HW UD CSUM capability") added the capability to use SG by default. Rather than override this, the HW supports it, so allow SG.
