Subject: IB/mlx5: Expose correct max_sge_rd limit
From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 986ef95ecdd3eb6fa29433e68faa94c7624083be upstream.
mlx5 devices (Connect-IB, ConnectX-4, ConnectX-4-LX) has a limitation
where rdma read work queue entries cannot exceed 512 bytes.
A rdma_read wqe needs to fit in 512 bytes:
- wqe control segment (16 bytes)
- rdma segment (16 bytes)
- scatter elements (16 bytes each)
So max_sge_rd should be: (512 - 16 - 16) / 16 = 30.
