When a system receives a REREG event from the SM, then the SM information in the kernel is marked as invalid and a request is sent to the SM to update the information. The SM information is invalid in that time period. However, receiving a REREG also occurs simultaneously in user space applications that are now trying to rejoin the multicast groups. Some of those may be sendonly multicast groups which are then failing. If the SM information is invalid then ib_sa_sendonly_fullmem_support() returns false. That is wrong because it just means that we do not know yet if the potentially new SM supports sendonly joins. Sendonly join was introduced in 2015 and all the Subnet managers have supported it ever since. So there is no point in checking if a subnet manager supports it. Should an old opensm get a request for a sendonly join then the request will fail. The code that is removed here accomodated that situation and fell back to a full join. Falling back to a full join is problematic in itself. The reason to use the sendonly join was to reduce the traffic on the Infiniband fabric otherwise one could have just stayed with the regular join. So this patch may cause users of very old opensms to discover that lots of traffic needlessly crosses their IB fabrics.

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.
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.
