Hello Nic,

A patch description should not only explain what has been changed but also why that change is considered useful. That last part is missing from the description of this patch. Is the purpose of this patch perhaps to improve performance ? If so then you should provide measurement data that shows that this patch really improves performance. Personally I doubt this patch improves performance because in the ib_srpt driver all ioctx allocations happen on the same CPU core, namely the CPU core the completion interrupt has been assigned to.

Bart.
