  • The work requests for rdma writes are built in local variables within
    function smc_tx_rdma_write(). This violates the rule that the work
    request storage has to stay till the work request is confirmed by
    a completion queue response.
    This patch introduces preallocated memory for these work requests.
    The storage is allocated, once a link (and thus a queue pair) is
    established.

  • smc allocates a certain number of CQ entries for used RoCE devices. For
    mlx5 devices the chosen constant number results in a large allocation
    causing this warning:

    This patch reduces the smc constant for the maximum number of allocated
    completion queue entries SMC_MAX_CQE by 2 to avoid high round up values
    in the mlx5 code, and reduces the number of allocated completion queue
    entries even more, if the final allocation for an mlx5 device hits the
    MAX_ORDER limit.

  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if
