Subject: [PATCH linux-next-20131029] IB/ipath: Fix random stack overflow.

Commit 18fec3c6 "IB/ipath: Convert ipath_user_sdma_pin_pages() to use
get_user_pages_fast()" requested for undefined number of pages with buffer for
2 pages.

  drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_user_sdma.c: In function 'ipath_user_sdma_pin_pages':
  drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ipath_user_sdma.c:283: warning: 'j' is used uninitialized in this function

ipath_user_sdma_pin_pages() assumes that npages is either 1 or 2 because
ipath_user_sdma_queue_pkts() checks that 0 < iov->iov_len <= PAGE_SIZE
which lets ipath_user_sdma_num_pages() return either 1 or 2.

Please check whether commit 18fec3c6 was backported
because that commit has "Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>" line.
