Hi Vlad,

Please pull a commit from:
ssh://v...@beany.openfabrics.org/home/vipulp/new_ofed/ location.

This patch adds LE hash collision bug fix for cxgb4 and iw_cxgb4 drivers.

Please note that we are in the process of submitting this patch series to 
net-next. But to be able to push it to net-next tree, it requires a patch from 
net tree. So, we have to wait till net and net-next tree gets merged. To start 
verifying some critical bug fixes by QA this patch series is important. Hence 
we would like to request to push this series to OFED-3.5 first.

Following is a discussion about it which is asking us to wait till the net and 
net-next trees are merged.

Vipul

    cxgb4/iw_cxgb4: Add LE hash collision bug fix for active and passive 
offloaded connections

    If the hash functionality is enabled in T4 than tuple information of active 
and
    passive offloaded connections are stored in DDR3 memory. LE (Lookup Engine)
    implements the interface to search this tuple entries using hash algorithm. 
If
    the number of offloaded connections exceeds the number of maximum hash 
entries
    in DDR3 memory then LE hash collision can occur. To avoid this, driver will
    take different path for offloading active and passive connections.

    In case of active connection, firmware detects LE hash collision situation 
and
    notifies driver. Driver uses fw_ofld_connection work request to offload that
    connection and stores its tuple information in TCAM memory array.

    Incase of passive connection, server filter region is created in TCAM. This
    region stores the filter which will redirect the incoming SYN packet to 
offload
    queues. After this driver tries to establish the connection using firmware 
work
    request.

    This patch series also adds framework for managing filters and to use T4's 
filter
    capabilities.
