This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net/mlx4_core: Fix when to save some qp context flags for dynamic VST to VGT transitions 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: net-mlx4_core-fix-when-to-save-some-qp-context-flags-for-dynamic-vst-to-vgt-transitions.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 7c3945bc2073554bb2ecf983e073dee686679c53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:31:38 +0200 Subject: net/mlx4_core: Fix when to save some qp context flags for dynamic VST to VGT transitions From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7c3945bc2073554bb2ecf983e073dee686679c53 upstream. Save the qp context flags byte containing the flag disabling vlan stripping in the RESET to INIT qp transition, rather than in the INIT to RTR transition. Per the firmware spec, the flags in this byte are active in the RESET to INIT transition. As a result of saving the flags in the incorrect qp transition, when switching dynamically from VGT to VST and back to VGT, the vlan remained stripped (as is required for VST) and did not return to not-stripped (as is required for VGT).
