Just curious: what takes care of draining SRQs when we unregister them
after all queues are gone?
Conversely, I would think that a consumer that uses SRQ
would want a similar drain mechanism to guarantee there
are no more posted Receives for the associated QP, and
thus it is safe to destroy it.
I don't think there is anything now that handles draining an SRQ, nor
ensuring a QP's RQEs are completed/consumed from its SRQ when draining
the QP. Sounds like work is needed here.
But are there any kernel SRQ consumers at this point?
I think the following two:
$ git grep -nHE '(ib|rdma)_create_srq' drivers/infiniband/ulp
drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_cm.c:1521: priv->cm.srq = ib_create_srq(priv->pd, &srq_init_attr);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c:2723: sdev->srq = ib_create_srq(sdev->pd, &srq_attr);
And the nvme-fabrics one has a SRQ mode.
