Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------
Q: Every now and then "SRP abort called" and "SRP reset_device called"
messages are logged at the initiator side. Around the same time I see the
following message in the target log: "ib_srpt: ***ERROR***: Command ...: IB
completion for idx ... has not been received in time (SRPT command state
...)". What is the meaning of these messages mean and how can I fix this ?
A: This means that a timeout occurred while a HCA was waiting for an
acknowledge message. Check the IB network for bad IB cables, bad HCA's
and/or bad switch ports. Also make sure that the HCA firmware is up to
date.
Q: Loading the kernel module ib_srpt triggers a kernel panic with a call trace
like the one below. What is the cause of this and how can this be solved ?
