This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    mlx5: wrong page mask if CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT enabled for 32Bit architectures

to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.16.y-queue

Subject: mlx5: wrong page mask if CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT enabled for
 32Bit architectures

commit 59d2d18cc4e9ba30b370db18d0e02d792699da96 upstream.

If CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT enabled for x86 systems and physical
memory is more than 4GB, dma_map_page may return a valid memory
address which greater than 0xffffffff. As a result, the mlx5 device page
allocator RB tree will be initialized with valid addresses greater than
0xfffffff.

However, (addr & PAGE_MASK) set the high four bytes to zeros. So, it's
impossible for the function, free_4k, to release the pages whose
addresses greater than 4GB. Memory leaks. And mlx5_ib module can't
release the pages when user try to remove the module, as a result,
system hang.

[root at rdma05 root]# dmesg  | grep addr | head
addr             = 3fe384000
addr & PAGE_MASK =  fe384000
[root at rdma05 root]# rmmod mlx5_ib   <---- hang on
