3.6.11.2 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mike Marciniszyn [ Upstream commit 1ee9e2aa7b31427303466776f455d43e5e3c9275 ] Commit f0dc117abdfa ("IPoIB: Fix TX queue lockup with mixed UD/CM traffic") attempts to solve an issue where unprocessed UD send completions can deadlock the netdev. The patch doesn't fully resolve the issue because if more than half the tx_outstanding's were UD and all of the destinations are RC reachable, arming the CQ doesn't solve the issue. This patch uses the IB_CQ_REPORT_MISSED_EVENTS on the ib_req_notify_cq(). If the rc is above 0, the UD send cq completion callback is called directly to re-arm the send completion timer. This issue is seen in very large parallel filesystem deployments and the patch has been shown to correct the issue.
