+ * @device_id:		device_id on server side to identify the device

Is this a number that only has a meaning inside the RTRS software? Is the role of this number perhaps similar to an NVMe namespace or SCSI LUN? If so, please mention this. Additionally, does this number start from zero or from one?

+ * @max_segments:	max segments hardware support in one transfer

Which "hardware" does this comment refer to? The RDMA adapter or the block device in the server? In the latter case, what if the block device has been implemented in software?

What kind of transfer does this comment refer to? A DMA transfer? If so, please mention this.

+struct rnbd_msg_open_rsp {
+	struct rnbd_msg_hdr	hdr;
+	__le32			device_id;
+	__le64			nsectors;
+	__le32			max_hw_sectors;
+	__le32			max_write_same_sectors;
+	__le32			max_discard_sectors;
+	__le32			discard_granularity;
+	__le32			discard_alignment;
+	__le16			physical_block_size;
+	__le16			logical_block_size;
+	__le16			max_segments;
+	__le16			secure_discard;
+	u8			rotational;
+	u8			reserved[11];
+};

Thanks,

Bart.
