Message:
[WINVERBS] winverbs/ep: allow failed connection requests to be retried

Allow a user to retry a connection request if it fails.
Report a 'success' timeout value, rather than an error timeout, reset the
EP state, and allow the request to be retried from user space.

winverbs: allow WV:Disconnect() to be retried

ND for some odd reason wants a successful return code for
a failed disconnect call.
If a Disconnect() call fails, allow it to be retried.
Return STATUS_TIMEOUT - a 'successful' failure, rather than STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT,
which is a 'failed' failure.

A subsequent call to EP:
Disconnect() after a timeout will force the QP into the
error state and force the EP into the disconnected state.

This change is needed to prevent ndping and other ND tests from
reporting a failure.
They only allow disconnect calls to fail 'successfully' with STATUS_TIMEOUT.
With the status mapping removed from the user space WV ND library, we need to return
the desired value directly from the kernel.

[WINVERBS/ND] allow retrying ND:Connect()

The ND documentation specifies that ND:Connect() should be retry-able.
Add this support to the winverbs ND provider.

Message:
[WINVERBS/ND] do not convert wv_io_timeout to nd_timeout

wv_io_timeout is an error value, but nd_timeout is a success value.
This means that an overlapped request can be completed in error, but
GetOverlappedResult can return a success value.  Instead, if a timeout
is fatal, report the status as wv_io_timeout, but if the timeout
can be retried, then report the status as wv_timeout

Message:
[ND] Don't use inline for RDMA reads

In order to allow the ndrping to work also with RDMA reads,
the following fix is needed.

Message:
[DAPL2] scm: CM linking to EP must be done before socket write in accept_user.

scm accept RTU was processing the conn object in the cr_thread
before the user accept thread bound the EP to the CM object.
The linking must be done before the socket write to insure
proper linking and state during accept_rtu processing.

   manual

**** Known Issues ****

HCA drivers are reclassified as BOOT_START drivers to support booting from
an SRP IOC.  An unfortunate side-effect is when WinOF 2.2 is installed
on a system for the first time, after installation a mandatory reboot is
required by Windows.

After the WinOF.msi file has started installation, an errant
"Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" window 'may' popup; XP & Svr 2003.

Just ignore or 'cancel' the errant FNHW popup window in order to proceed with
the installation. XP requires a cancel, for WLH & WNET, the notifier will
disappear on their own.

You do need to answer 'Yes' or 'Continue' to popup windows which refer to
Non-Logo'ed (aka, Non-WHQL'ed) drivers being installed.

If the install appears to hang, look around for popup windows requesting input
which are covered by other windows.
Such is the case on Server 2008 initial install - Answer 'yes' to always trust
the OpenFabrics Alliance as a SW publisher.


Please:
  Read the Release_notes.htm file!

  make 'sure' your HCA firmware is recent:
      vstat.exe displays HCA firmware version & PSID.
      flint.exe (found in the Mellanox firmware tools package) displays PSID.

Thank you,

WinOF Developers.
