Hello Nic,

A patch description should not only explain what has been changed but 
also why that change is considered useful. That last part is missing 
from the description of this patch. Is the purpose of this patch perhaps 
to improve performance ? If so then you should provide measurement data 
that shows that this patch really improves performance. Personally I 
doubt this patch improves performance because in the ib_srpt driver all 
ioctx allocations happen on the same CPU core, namely the CPU core the 
completion interrupt has been assigned to.

Bart.
