From: Dag Moxnes <dag.mox...@oracle.com>
The process_mad function is an optional IB driver entry point
allows a driver to intercept or modify MAD traffic.
This fix allows MAD traffic to flow down to the device also
when MAD traffic is completely handled by the device and
no process_mad function is provided.
SIF, the new Oracle Infiniband HCA, is the first HCA
where the device itself makes all decision wrt MAD processing.
Up till now devices either supports MAD, and do then
implement the process_mad entry point, or do not
support MAD at all, and then do not implement process_mad.
SIF introduces a 3rd case: Supports MAD
but do not terminate any MAD requests in the driver.
This case is not handled well by the current code.
The problem is that the handle_outgoing_dr_smp function
has an implicit assumption that some packets are handled
by the process_mad function itself.
There is no way to provide return values from the process_mad
function that ensures that packets are always forwarded to the device,
so the only viable solution without breaking the API
seems to be to not implement process_mad.
