Hey,

The patch Bharat provided fixes the kernel panic but RDMA in userspace
still does not work at all. Reverting the commits I mentioned still
fixes everything.

To answer your questions:

* I see the iwpm_register_pid message even when things are working so I
don't think it's related.

* All clients I've tried fail. I've attached a log of all the error
messages I see with various clients. (This was with Bharat's patch so
there was no kernel panic and I saw no dmesgs during these runs). The
same runs with the commits I mentioned reverted work fine.

* I retested everything with the CX4 cards as well and they have a
similar problem but produce different error messages. I've attached a
log of client runs as well. The CX4 also works once I revert those
patches. However, by memory, I don't think the CX4s ever suffered from
the kernel panic, and I guess it was just luck that the patches I
reverted caused all these problems.

If it's not a bug fix I don't think it should have a fixes tag. It
probably didn't mater in this case but you don't want refactor commits
to accidentally reach a stable kernel.

Thanks,

Logan
