Chien,
You never explained us what exactly your original patch fixed and why it
should be fixed in kernel and not in user space. I saw that our
discussion wasn't useful and brought bad blood instead of good will,
so I stepped out in waited for RDMA maintainer (Doug) step in.
I never heard anything from Doug on the matter, so proceeded and
resubmitted it.
Thanks
