That would still leave us with a useless struct ib_device_attr embedded
into struct ib_device.  Anyway, I'll resend it now that the message limits have
been bumped.

Perhaps you could change ib_query_device() to use the ib_device_attr
from struct ib_device so that ulp doesn't have to be modified at the
same time the drivers. Then further patches can update the users of
ib_query_device(), one at a time. And the last patch would remove
ib_query_device().

Regards.

An alternative, I guess, is to have the patch broken logically into a series 
by: core changes, driver changes, and ulp changes.  And
then ask Doug to squash it at merge time, as part of the cover letter.But 
perhaps that isn't standard operating procedure...

How do we change the message size limits?   Reviewing w/o it being inline is 
painful for the (many) reviewers...

I don't see how that is possible, as it's a flag day change.

But maybe we really need to bump up the message size limits for linux-rdma,
I'm pretty sure linux-kernel and linux-scsi handle attachments of this
size just fine.
