Re: [PATCHv2] rdma: add a new IB_ACCESS_GIFT flag

From: Michael R. Hines

To be more specific, here's what I did:

1. apply kernel module patch - re-insert module
1. QEMU does: ibv_reg_mr(........IBV_ACCESS_GIFT | IBV_ACCESS_REMOTE_READ)
2. Start the RDMA migration
3. Migration completes without any errors

This test does *not* work with a cgroup swap limit, however. The process gets killed. (Both with and without GIFT)

Not sure I'm interpreting this correctly. Are you saying that things
worked without actually setting the GIFT flag? In which case why are
we adding this flag?
