Hello Max,

It seems weird to me that __ib_drain_srq() does not follow the same approach as
__ib_drain_rq(). Have you considered to post an additional receive work entry
on the SRQ and to wait until the completion for that work entry is signaled?
That would avoid that a completion has to be added in the ib_qp data structure
and would also avoid that all ULPs that use SRQs have to be modified.

Thanks,

Bart.
