I think everyone understand the theroetical issue, but we'd like to see a practical case that the implementation in isert and my proposed srpt one don't handle. Given that chained WRs must not be reordered the HCA must also give us the completions in the order we submitted them. Because of that the previous WRs must have been completed by the time we get the notification for the last one which usually does the cleanup. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
