+    IB/IPoIB Check if grat. ARP changed had arrived when working in connected mode
+
+        move a little up the code that checks for a situation where the remote GID stored in the ipoib_neigh is
+        different than the one present in the neighbour (handle Gratuitous ARP) or that a bonding fail over has
+        happened but the neighbour still has a pointer to an ipoib_neigh created not by the current slave. This
+        will cause the driver to apply the check also for connected mode neighbours.
+        This patch was tested against upstream kernel and ofed_kernel.
