This patch: > IB/Verbs: Use management helper rdma_cap_ib_mad() causes an error when you actually use the port passed from the ib_umad module. I have a patch to fix that which I found while trying to build on this series for the use of a bit mask. Doug, I don't know what you would like to do for this fix. I am submitting it shortly with a new version of the core capability bit patches. If you want to just add it after this series or force Michael to respin with the fix? Frankly I vote for the former because as it stands this series does not break directly. It was only after I changed the implementation of rdma_cap_ib_mad that it broke. For the rest of the series. Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com> Tested-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@...el.com> -- Limited to mlx4, qib, and OPA (with additional patches.)
