The patch below does not apply to the 4.4-stable tree. If someone wants it applied there, or to any other stable or longterm tree, then please email the backport, including the original git commit id to stable@vger.kernel.org.
The attached backported patch should apply to 4.4-stable and also to 4.9-stable.
Though I am confused about why this should be in stable, unless some later fix, required in stable, depends on this.
That's a good question. Can some IB developer please answer this before I queue this up?
It is required for this upstream patch:
commit d8f9cc328c8888369880e2527e9186d745f2bbf6 Author: Jack Morgenstein jackm@dev.mellanox.co.il Date: Wed May 23 15:30:31 2018 +0300
Thanks Jason. Looks like d8f9cc328c88 ("IB/mlx4: Mark user MR as writable if actual virtual memory is writable") will be needed in both 4.4-stable and 4.9-stable, but will need backporting.
