Hi,

similar to other "Call dev_kfree_skby_any instead of dev_kfree_skb.", I
believe, that mlx4 (only) in 3.14 should receive the fix too:

commit e81f44b66b456a7dcfbdeffeb355458cd6a58973
Author: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

    mlx4: Call dev_kfree_skby_any instead of dev_kfree_skb.


In 3.12, it calls dev_kfree_skb_any yet.
In 3.14, it was changed to dev_kfree_skb.
In 3.18, it was changed to dev_consume_skb_any.

So please consider the commit above for the next 3.14 update.

thanks,
