From cea05eadded0d4eb59f7be6e1f1560eb6bfde2bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mustafa Ismail Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:02:26 -0500 Subject: IB/core: Add flow control to the portmapper netlink calls During connection establishment with a large number of connections, it is possible that the connection requests might fail. Adding flow control prevents this failure. Change ibnl_unicast to use blocking to enable flow control.
