In some cases, e.g. when using ib_alloc_cq_any, one would like to know
the completion vector that eventually assigned to the CQ. Cache this

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

Can't the user use ib_alloc_cq_any() and still want to know what is the final comp vector for his needs ?


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.

it's fine. I just want to make sure that I'll spread the SRQ's equally.


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.

I'm Ok with that as well. This is exactly what we do in the nvmf/rdma but I wanted to stick also with the SRP target approach.

Bart,

Any objection to remove the call for ib_alloc_cq_any() from ib_srpt and use ib_alloc_cq() ?
