Notes about ib_srpt
-------------------
* Unloading the kernel module ib_srpt while I/O is ongoing is supported.
However, it can take up to two minutes before unloading finishes. During
that time CPU usage will be high.

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 ?
Call Trace:
[<ffffffffa02f2a50>] srpt_alloc_ioctx+0x60/0xb0 [ib_srpt]
[<ffffffffa02f2f0a>] srpt_alloc_ioctx_ring+0xea/0x1e0 [ib_srpt]
[<ffffffffa02f32e9>] srpt_add_one+0x2e9/0x670 [ib_srpt]
[<ffffffffa015a480>] ib_register_client+0x80/0xa0 [ib_core]
[<ffffffffa02421eb>] srpt_init_module+0x1eb/0x235 [ib_srpt]
[<ffffffff81000344>] do_one_initcall+0x34/0x1a0
[<ffffffff8107a63c>] sys_init_module+0xdc/0x260
[<ffffffff81002e3b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b
A: This means that you are using a system on which OFED has been installed but
that ib_srpt has been compiled against the non-OFED kernel headers instead
of the OFED kernel headers. You can fix this by rebuilding ib_srpt against
the OFED kernel headers. The ib_srpt makefile should detect the OFED kernel
headers automatically - at least if ib_srpt is built after OFED has been
installed.
