Hi Steve,
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.


Regards,
Vladimir
