As far as I know some people are still using this parameter.

I'm afraid that having different values of this parameter for
different HCAs would break failing over between HCAs.

My opinion is that the parameters used in srpt_add_one() also should
be converted from module parameters into something that is
configurable dynamically. ib_srpt users have already been asking to
make e.g. srp_max_req_size configurable dynamically. It should be
doable to reallocate the receive ring when there are no active
sessions.
