Subject: [PATCH net 0/3] Mellanox EN driver fixes 2014-06-23

Hi,

Below are some fixes to patches submitted to 3.16.

First patch is according to discussions with Ben [1] and Thomas [2] - to do not
use affinity notifier, since it breaks RFS. Instead detect changes in IRQ
affinity map, by checking if current CPU is set in affinity map on NAPI poll.
The two other patches fix some bugs introduced by commit [3].

Patches were applied and tested on commit b58537a ('net: sctp: fix
permissions for rto_alpha and rto_beta knobs')

Thanks,
Amir
