Hello Mike,

The reported kernel crash was triggered by running the following command:

srp-test/run_tests -c -d -r 10 -t 02-mq

The srp-test software is available at https://github.com/bvanassche/srp-test.
All patches necessary to run that script in a virtual machine (RoCE support
for the SRP initiator and target drivers) will be sent to Linus during the
kernel v4.17 merge window. These patches are already available in linux-next
today. Although I have not tried this myself, I expect that if you run the
above command against a kernel built from the linux-next code that that will
allow you to reproduce what I reported.

Thanks,

Bart.
