Re: [PATCH v2 net 0/2] IB/ipoib: ip link support

From: Denis Drozdov <redacted>

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

This patchset restores IPoIB pkey creation and removal using rtnetlink.
The first patch introduces changes in the rtnetlink code in order to allow
IPOIB allocate and free the netdevice.

The second patch establishes appropriate rtnetlink callbacks for IPoIB
device and restores IPoIB netlink support

Changes since v1:
- Fixed double free_netdev calls in ops->free_link in netdev_run_todo 
- Removed priv_size from ipoib_link_ops as not required anymore.

Please fix your control flow so that the existing netlink op can do
the right thing.

We're not going to add a whole new set of netdev ops every time a subsystem
has a weird control flow issue that no other device type has.  Please fix
this inside of the IB stack, thank you.
