A passive side is the one that gets a REQ (look in IB spec section 12.9.6).
Under IPoIB passive side can perform post send on the QP created.
To make this work, I connect the QP to the SRQ on the active side:

However, with your patch, priv->cm.srq might be NULL, which
means that the QP won't be attached to SRQ. This is
a quality of implementation issue that your patch is introducing.
