====================
This series handles IPoIB child interface creation with setting
interface's HW address.
In current implementation, lladdr requested by user is ignored and
overwritten. Child interface gets the same GID as the parent interface and
a QP number which is assigned by the underlying drivers.
In this series we fix this behavior so that user's requested address is
assigned to the newly created interface.
As specific QP number request is not supported for all vendors, QP number
requested by user will still be overwritten when this is not supported.
Behavior of creation of child interfaces through the sysfs mechanism or
without specifying a requested address, stays the same.
====================
Based on the mlx5-next branch at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux
due to dependencies.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
