Thanks Christoph for writing up this excellent summary. In case anyone is wondering which LLD changes Christoph is referring to: the tests I ran myself were with an SRP initiator driver modified to use multiple RDMA channels between initiator and target instead of a single channel. I will post these changes for review on the linux-rdma mailing list as soon as I have the time.
