Agreed.

Patch looks needed for just the point that Parav made above (that if
security check fails, then ib_free_recv_mad will cause the
mad_recv_wc->rmpp_list to be accessed so it needs to be initialized
before security is enforced).

I don't have mthca to try this. Maybe Chris can try this patch (with
CONFIG_SECURITY_INFINIBAND=y).
