With which request size was that ? I see about 330K IOPS @ 4 KB and
about 540K IOPS @ 512 bytes with the SRP protocol, a RAM disk at the
target side, a single SCSI LUN and a single IB cable. These results have
been obtained on a setup with low-end CPU's. Had you set rq_affinity to
2 in your tests ?
Bart.
