Ruhl" <michael.j.ruhl@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2017 10:15:51 -0700 Subject: IB/core: For multicast functions, verify that LIDs are multicast LIDs From: Michael J. Ruhl <michael.j.ruhl@xxxxxxxxx> commit 8561eae60ff9417a50fa1fb2b83ae950dc5c1e21 upstream. The Infiniband spec defines "A multicast address is defined by a MGID and a MLID" (section 10.5). Currently the MLID value is not validated. Add check to verify that the MLID value is in the correct address range.
