Hi Dave, for correct operation / future bisection, you should 1st
apply Roland's patch which reduces the hard header len advertized by
ipoib to be only the size of the ipoib header without that 20 bytes
headroom, else the gro memcmp will be issued on the ipoib header and
then 20 bytes of the ip header, kind of back to square one...

I did.

Yep, I missed your earlier response to Roland's patch. So a question
here, how would you recommend to get that out... since the fix for the
problem includes two patches to core networking and one patch to
ipoib, we can't just ship a patch to ipoib which people can apply
build against their kernels. You've placed this work in net-next and
not net, so I assume we should wait for 3.4-rc1 and then push to
-stable? any other method to use here that you can recommend? thanks,

Or.
