Thanks Linus! Code looks good to me. For a decent patch,
add a Fixes line and resend. It fixes commit
b9be6f18cf9e rdma/siw: transmit path.

I also found the description of what your patch does
a little to verbose, but that is maybe just my taste,
preferring a very crisp and short description ;)

Thanks,
Bernard.
