<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">This patch was accepted upstream at the end of Dec-2012 or early this month. For a while, we thought it a minor issue and did not push to OFED-3.5. Only on Monday did I realize that RDS was a mandatory part
of the Linux testing at Interop (which I confirmed with Rupert), and that our HCA will fail RDS tests without this patch. This patch has been tested successfully as part our internal testing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
