[ofa-general] [PATCH v2 0/4] rdma: addr ADDR_CHANGE rdma-cm event support

[Or Gerlitz]

Roland,

changes from v1
 - use pointer to the net device instead the net device name.

Only patches 1 and 3 were changed, 2 and 4 remained the same,
I added v2 to their subject to prevent confusion.

As I said, since some more changes are possible in the rdma-cm
for 2.6.27, I think it would be better if you do this push, however,
if you you prefer to push this through Jeff's tree, let it be.

Or


The four patches that follow implement the RDMA stack part of the ability
to notify ulps which use the rdma-cm on networking changes that make them
"non aligned" with the network stack wrt what links (eg <device,port>) are
being used for communication. They passed review on the list.

The patch sequence is dependent on the below three commits to the davem-next
branch at Jeff Garzik netdev-2.6 tree, so my thought was that you can pull/merge
this tree/branch into your for-2.6.27 branch, such that it compiles after accepting
the rdma patches.
