IP link was broken due to the changes in IPoIB for the rdma_netdev
support after commit cd565b4b51e5
("IB/IPoIB: Support acceleration options callbacks").

you are approaching stable kernels, right? lets make sure dave is okay
to pick the net (touching dev.c etc) patch to stable even if the
offending patch didn't change anything there.

Erez, Denis

The offending commit went in 4.12-rc1, so the fix should be getting
a while back. RU sure you need the net/core patch to fix that up or
we can come up with ipoib only patch?

The preferred approach was to have 2 patches one for ipoib and one for core/net.
So, we can't with patch to ipoib only.

going with your approach, you must sure that the 1st patch is also
backportable all the way back to 4.12

Or.

Denis, the author of the patches is on new-year vacation, he will
close all the gaps as soon as he will be back.
