Jeff,
During the original code review we found ,that by default we allocate SRQ with size "rd_num + sd_max" but on the SRQ we post only rd_num receive entries. It means that we do not fill the queue completely. Looks like a bug.

When is this code activated?

I don't get all the context from the patch, but it looks like when the limit 
event comes in, you simply set new values and then twonk a flag to true 
indicating that at some point later, the code above is triggered and sees that 
the flag is true.  It then does the actual resizing of the srq.

Is that accurate?  If so, why not resize at the time of the limit event -- are 
there restrictions on what you can do inside an event handler, or some other 
restriction(s) that must be obeyed?

Misspelled "parameter" twice.

"init srq size" -> "initial SRQ size".

[biggest qp size is too small]
WARNING: The largest queue pair buffer size specified in the
btl_openib_receive_queues MCA parameter is smaller than the maximum

I believe that there are show_help messages that detail the receive_queues 
parameter.  It looks like you changed the value sequence for the srq parameters 
in receive_queues -- these help messages, at a minimum, will need to be updated.

It looks like you did this in the code above, but I'll ask just to be sure: 
users who are currently setting btl_openib_receive_queues with srq values right 
now will not be incompatible with this new stuff, right?  I.e., the new 
receive_queues SRQ sub-params are optional, right?
