    Description

      As the upstream client looks like move out of staging issues are being brought up that need to be addressed. One issue is that the lnet selftest utility uses and passes linux kernel link list as arguments. A new proper user land interface has to be developed do we can stop using linux link list arguments as ioctl parameters.

            As per discussion on the LWG call today, moving tickets that do not appear to be essential to fix version 2.17. If the fix lands before code freeze we will update the fix version to reflect that but we want to focus on activities on the critical path. Please speak up if you think that this issue definitely needs to be fixed before we could issue a 2.16 release.
