[PATCH] svcrdma: delete double assignment

[PATCH] svcrdma: delete double assignment

[Himangi Saraogi]

Delete successive assignments to the same location.

A simplified version of Coccinelle semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows:

// <smpl>
@@
expression i;
@@

*i = ...;
 i = ...;
// </smpl>

Should the assignment be the maximum of the 2 values?

I am not so sure about this change either.

->sc_max_sge is used to limit the number of segments used during sends,
currently in this code.  Grep for where it is used.

Therefore, if anything, the correct thing to do would be to retain the
first line rather than the second line.

Someone who actually works on this code and understands it should
really take a close look at this before anyone even thinks about
applying this patch.

We should remove that whole block that tries to recover from a 
rdma_create_qp() failure.   I don't believe we would ever hit it. The 
value initially stored in sc_max_sge is from the device attribute 
max_sge returned from ib_query_device() just above the code we're 
talking about.  If rdma_create_qp() fails, it would not be because the 
max_send_sge and max_recv_sge values passed in exceed the device's max...
