When disabling NFSRDMA in the OFED install scripts, CONFIG_SYSCTL will be disabled. Since this option is not only needed by NFS, this causes all others who use this option in OFED to be without it. It should be sufficient to enable it if NFS is enabled (given the off-chance that it is not enabled by default), and leave it the way it is on the system if NFS is not enabled.

This fixes bug 1758.

From 91856f762d956547d261349e7420ceaf75c0cae2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli Cohen <eli-VPRAkNaXOzVS1MOuV/[email protected]> Date: Sun, 27 Sep 2009 08:44:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mlx4: remove limitation on LSO header size

Current code has a limitation as for the size of an LSO header not allowed to cross a 64 byte boundary. This patch removes this limitation by setting the WQE RR for large headers thus allowing LSO headers of any size. The extra buffer reserved for MLX4_IB_QP_LSO QPs has been doubled, from 64 to 128 bytes, assuming this is reasonable upper limit to header length.
Also, this patch will cause IB_DEVICE_UD_TSO to be set only of FW versions that set MLX4_DEV_CAP_FLAG_BLH; e.g. FW version 2.6.000 and higher.

IB/mad: Fix lock-lock-timer deadlock in RMPP code

Holding agent->lock across cancel_delayed_work() (which does del_timer_sync()) in ib_cancel_rmpp_recvs() leads to lockdep reports of possible lock-timer deadlocks if a consumer ever does something that connects agent->lock to a lock taken in IRQ context (cf
http://marc.info/?l=linux-rdma&m=125243699026045).

Fix this by changing the list items to a new state "CANCELING" while holding the lock, and then canceling the delayed work without holding the lock. If the delayed work runs after the lock is dropped, it will see the state is CANCELING and return immediately, so the list will stay stable while we traverse it with the lock not held.

Non-x86 archs will break when compiling NFSRDMA due to _node_to_cpumask_ptr not being defined. This is due to that function only being defined in include/asm-x86/topology.h. This patch removes the reference to that function to something more generic which exists on all other archs.
