I'm confused by the mention of the ib_alloc_cq_any() API here.

Is your design somehow dependent on the way the current ib_alloc_cq_any()
selects comp_vectors? The contract for _any() is that it is an API for
callers that simply do not care about what comp_vector is chosen. There's
no guarantee that the _any() comp_vector allocator will continue to use
round-robin in the future, for instance.

If you want to guarantee that there is an SRQ for each comp_vector and a
comp_vector for each SRQ, stick with a CQ allocation API that enables
explicit selection of the comp_vector value, and cache that value in the
caller, not in the core data structures.
