This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/mlx4: Return missed an error if device doesn't support steering to the 5.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rdma-mlx4-return-missed-an-error-if-device-doesn-t-s.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 76d2d8f3a89db10dd685f1c3cb7ea192136a05b2 Author: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Oct 12 10:28:43 2021 +0300 RDMA/mlx4: Return missed an error if device doesn't support steering [ Upstream commit f4e56ec4452f48b8292dcf0e1c4bdac83506fb8b ] The error flow fixed in this patch is not possible because all kernel users of create QP interface check that device supports steering before set IB_QP_CREATE_NETIF_QP flag.
