The change of ipoib_ah data structure with adding "valid" flag and
checks of ah->valid in ipoib_start_xmit affected multicast packet flow.
Since the multicast flow doesn't invoke path_rec_start, "ah->valid" flag
remains unset, so that ipoib_start_xmit end up with neigh_refresh_path
instead of sending the packet using neigh.
"ah->valid" has to be set in multicast send flow. As a result IPoIB
starts sending packets via neigh immediately and eliminates 60sec delay
of neigh keep alive interval.
The typical example of this issue are two sequential arpings:
arping 11.134.208.9 -> got response (mcast_send)
arping 11.134.208.9 -> no response (ah->valid = 0)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
