I think we need first to commit this to the SVN and have different 
developers (eg people working on iSER/NFSoRDMA/SRP/Lustre passive side 
and ofcourse SDP) test and experience with it before pushing it 
upstream, targeting 2.6.19 makes sense to me.

Not fully handling this race is not a bug but rather a feature that was 
missing in the openib stack from day one for which now we have a patch 
that attempts to address it.

Or.
