Hey Dave,

Is this sufficient for you to pull/merge the patch upstream?  Or should Venkat, the new RDS maintainer, do something 
else?  Like maybe coalesce patches into a git repos and ask you to pull them in?  I'm not sure what process you had with 
the old RDS maintainer.

There's another patch too from Jonathan Lallinger that fixes an RDS crash titled:

[PATCH] RDSRDMA: Fix to PAGE_MASK interpretation

Both have been signed off by Venkat and reviewed by me.

Thanks,

Steve.
