    Subject: [PATCH] mlx4: Fix multicast handling

    Attaching a QP to a multicast group does not require the QP to be in a state
    different then INIT - this is fine for IB. For RDMAoE however, we need the port
    assigned to the QP in order to call dev_mc_add() for the correct netdevice,
    while port is assgined when moving from INIT to RTR. Hence, we must keep track
    of all the multicast groups attached to a QP and call dev_mc_add() when the
    port becomes available.

    Fixes bug 1802.

    Subject: [PATCH] mlx4_core: Allocate and map sufficient ICM memory for EQ context

    The current implementation allocates a single host page for EQ context
    memory, which was OK when we only allocated a few EQs.  However, since
    we now allocate an EQ for each CPU core, this patch removes the
    hard-coded limit (which we exceed with 4 KB pages and 128 byte EQ
    context entries with 32 CPUs) and uses the same ICM table code as all
    other context tables, which ends up simplifying the code quite a bit
    while fixing the problem.

    This problem was actually hit in practice on a dual-socket Nehalem box
    with 16 real hardware threads and sufficiently odd ACPI tables that it
    shows on boot

        SMP: Allowing 32 CPUs, 16 hotplug CPUs

    so num_possible_cpus() ends up 32, and mlx4 ends up creating 33 MSI-X
    interrupts and 33 EQs.  This mlx4 bug means that mlx4 can't even
    initialize at all on this quite mainstream system.

    RDS: Fix potential race around rds_i[bw]_allocation

    From Shin Hong:

    "At rds_ib_recv_refill_one(), it first executes atomic_read(&rds_ib_allocation)
    for if-condition checking,

    and then executes atomic_inc(&rds_ib_allocation) if the condition was
    not satisfied.

    However, if any other code which updates rds_ib_allocation executes
    between these two atomic operation executions,
    it seems that it may result race condition. (especially when
    rds_ib_allocation + 1 == rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation)"

    This patch fixes this by using atomic_inc_unless to eliminate the
    possibility of allocating more than rds_ib_sysctl_max_recv_allocation
    and then decrementing the count if the allocation fails. It also
    makes an identical change to the iwarp transport.

    memtrack: adjust kmalloc to avoid spurious inconsistency msgs in kfree for earlier kernels.

    Problem was an inconsistency in kmalloc which tested for kernels later than 2.6.9
    to avoid storing 0-sized allocations.  However, in kfree, the condition was
    if ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR was defined (and this came in only at kernel 2.6.23).

    Thus, all kernels between 2.6.9 and 2.6.23 had a problem.
