The purpose of this InfiniBand SRP initiator patch series is as follows: - Make the SRP initiator driver better suited for use in a H.A. setup. Add fast_io_fail_tmo, dev_loss_tmo and reconnect_delay parameters. These can be used either to speed up failover or to avoid device removal when e.g. using initiator side mirroring. - Make the SRP initiator better suited for use on NUMA systems by making the HCA completion vector configurable. - Improve performance by making the queue size configurable.
Changes since the previous patch series are: - Rewrote the srp_tmo_valid() to improve readability (requested by Dave Dillow). - The combination (reconnect_delay < 0 && fast_io_fail_tmo < 0 && dev_loss_tmo < 0) is now rejected as requested by Dave Dillow. - Fixed a race between transport layer failure handling and device removal. This issue was reported by Vu Pham.
