Hi all,

After merging the infiniband tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64
allmodconfig) failed like this:

drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c: In function 'mlx5_ib_query_device':
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c:248:34: error: 'MLX5_DEV_CAP_FLAG_ON_DMND_PG' undeclared (first use in this function)

Really? Code added half way though the merge window not even build
tested?
It's not quite as bad as it seems. The infiniband tree itself builds,
the problem is the merged tree.

The Mellanox guys merged the "cleanup"

Hi Roland,

So shit happens... Eli is away this week, but it's clear that this portion of the cleanup
was terribly wrongand done by mistake, sorry for that and thanks for addressing quickly.

net/mlx5_core: Remove unused dev cap enum fields

These enumerations are not used so remove them.

Signed-off-by: Eli Cohen <eli@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

through davem's tree, and then went ahead and used at least
MLX5_DEV_CAP_FLAG_ON_DMND_PG (which that patch removes) in patches
they merged through my tree.

I'll add a partial revert of that patch to my tree to get back the
now-used enum values.

- R.
