Wouldn't it make more sense to define idb_rkey to be u32 and change
endianness when assigning it to the indirect desc?

Hello Sagi,

That's possible, but that would cause the endianness of the indirect data buffer rkey to be changed three times - a first time in srp_map_desc(), a second time in srp_map_idb() and a third time in srp_map_data(). Hence the choice to fix the IDB rkey via the above patch.

Bart.
