I see there is some discussion with Bart's patch with respect to SDMA.
So I guess it might take a while to merge his patchset.

How about doing this?
- add this with 'ib_' prefix into 4.10-rc.
- followed by cherry pick this commit in linux-rdma tree.

When Bart rebase it, changes of this fix will automatically get converted from ib_ to dma_.
So shall I send patch for 4.10-rc with 'ib_' prefix?
