Although in the RC mode more resources are needed that mode has three
advantages over SRQ:
- It works with all RDMA adapters, even those that do not support
SRQ.
- Posting WRs and polling WCs does not trigger lock contention
because only one thread at a time accesses a WR or WC queue in
non-SRQ mode.
- The end-to-end flow control mechanism is used.
>From the IB spec:
C9-150.2.1: For QPs that are not associated with an SRQ, each HCA
receive queue shall generate end-to-end flow control credits. If
a QP is associated with an SRQ, the HCA receive queue shall not
generate end-to-end flow control credits.
Add new configfs attributes that allow to configure which mode to use
(/sys/kernel/config/target/srpt/$GUID/$GUID/attrib/use_srq). Note:
only the attribute for port 1 is relevant on multi-port adapters.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
