I tried few build combinations on net-next but couldn't
reproduce the build failure. AFAIU, the build error can only
happen if for some reason the ib.h file got deleted
accidentally. I did delete ib.h file and saw below error

   CC [M]  net/rds/rdma_transport.o
net/rds/rdma_transport.c:38:16: error: ib.h: No such file or directory

Could it be the case for some reason the ib.h file got
deleted or mangled while applying the $subject patch ?

Santosh
