Hi Leon,

Although it's not a big deal for this patch series, please do not modify patches
without agreement from the patch author.

As far as I know adding a Fixes: tag if a Cc: stable tag is present is not required
by any document in the Documentation/ directory?

I had not added a Fixes: tag because the issue fixed by patch 3/3 was introduced
by the commit that added the ib_srp driver to the kernel tree. So it would be fine
to backport the first three patches of this series to all older kernel versions to
which the patches can be backported.

Thanks,

Bart.
