The advantages of that version of ib_srp over what's upstream are: - Better robustness against cable plugging. - Allows closing an SRP connection from the initiator side (via the new "delete" attribute in sysfs). - Configurable dev_loss_tmo and fast_io_fail_tmo parameters. - Builds against any kernel in the range 2.6.32..3.6. - Can be used on RHEL 6.x systems. In combination with srp_daemon and multipath-tools this should allow to build a reliable H.A. SRP solution. Note: I haven't been able to test that code against every existing mainstream or distro kernel. Feedback is welcome though.
