James,
This is bugfix and prevents a "scheduling while atomic" bug that can be
hit when using an ipv6 address with cxgb4i, and can possibly be seen without
Chelsio hardware. Could this be cherry picked for 3.17 please ?
Christoph,
My bad, this is a bugfix for code that was added for 3.17, and I assumed the
bugfixes would automatically be picked for the next rc. If James doesn't pick
this up, I'll send it to stable when appropriate.
-Anish

It's in the drivers-for-3.18 tree as there was no indication you wanted
it for 3.17. In fact the description said "Applies on top of
core-for-3.18". You can try to persuade James to cherry pick if for
3.17, but given how late we are in the cycle that might need very good
argument. You can always send it to stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx as soon as
Linus pulls the SCSI update for 3.18, though.
