Description

Please push the IB multi-rail patch to the Gerrit fs/lustre-release branch. My understanding is that the patch is currently based on Lustre 2.6.0.

Ideally the patch would be based on the current master branch. However, if there are a large number of non-trivial conflicts applying the patch to master, it may be necessary to rewind your local branch to 2.7.0 or 2.6.0 (e.g. "git checkout -b 2.6.0") and pushing the patch there as a starting point.

It should be possible to use "git am <patch file>" to import the Git patch file (which may even apply it to the original commit that it was based on) so that the original author (NAGUCHI Yoshinori <[e-mail]>) is preserved. If not, then the patch could be applied with "git apply --author="NAGUCHI Yoshinori <[e-mail]>" <patch file>".
