So essentially what we had a few versions ago (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/4/30/785) plus changing unsigned longs to __user * across all IB code? I think the second part is something that's not related to this series and needs to be done separately. I can move untagging back to mlx4_get_umem_mr() though. Catalin, you've initially asked to to move untagging out of mlx4_get_umem_mr(), do you have any comments on this? > > Jason
