Hey Christoph,
I think this looks good in general.
Question though, a ULP may want to keep a couple of WRs around instead
of having each allocated in the stack and handled one by one. We need
to provide it with a hint of what is the size it needs.
I just posted a patch to do that in iser
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-rdma/msg27632.html).
So if I would want to preallocate an array of work requests, what is the
size of the space I'd need?
is it some form of max(sizeof(struct ib_send_wr),
sizeof(struct ib_fastreg_wr),
sizeof(struct sig_handover), ..)?
This is just a WIP with basic testing for now. While all in-tree drivers
except for iSER and iSERt are converted testing coverage is very limited.
For iSER I could really use a helping hand as the WR usage is rather
confusing..
I can do it. no problem.
