> Actually, I did not changed the names of patches. It was done automatically by git.
> Here is the procedure I use to refresh the patches in order to update the base kernel:

> Use linux git (git://git.openfabrics.org/compat-rdma/linux-3.18.git master)
> # cd linux-3.18
> 
> Apply all patches from "compat-rdma/patches":
> # git am --reject ../compat-rdma/patches/*.patch
> 
> - This command failed on cxgb patches as they did not include required fields like "From:", "Subject:" ...
> So, I added missing fields.
> After fixing patches format and conflicts occurred due to the kernel base update run:
> # git format-patch -o new_patches --subject-prefix="PATCH" --no-numbered <last commit before backports>
> 
> Then replace all patches under "compat-rdma/patches" by the patches from the new_patches directory.
