This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled IB/qib: Support creating qps with GFP_NOIO flag to the 4.4-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: ib-qib-support-creating-qps-with-gfp_noio-flag.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From fbbeb8632bf0b46ab44cfcedc4654cd7831b7161 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinit Agnihotri <vinit.abhay.agnihotri@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 12:57:25 -0500 Subject: IB/qib: Support creating qps with GFP_NOIO flag From: Vinit Agnihotri <vinit.abhay.agnihotri@xxxxxxxxx> commit fbbeb8632bf0b46ab44cfcedc4654cd7831b7161 upstream. The current code is problematic when the QP creation and ipoib is used to support NFS and NFS desires to do IO for paging purposes. In that case, the GFP_KERNEL allocation in qib_qp.c causes a deadlock in tight memory situations. This fix adds support to create queue pair with GFP_NOIO flag for connected mode only to cleanly fail the create queue pair in those situations.
