Maybe I've missed something, but the last time I checked it appeared

It's not used for kernel IB connections.  Since connection requests are reported
through a callback, there's nothing to queue and it's unneeded.

I see, thanks for the explanation. But then why would iWarp transport
cares the 'backlog' while connection requests are also reported via a
callback? iw_cm_listen() allocates resources based on 'backlog' and I
saw this comment over it:

@backlog: The maximum number of outstanding un-accepted inbound listen
  requests to queue.


The iWARP rnics also map this backlog to the tcp backlog used in listening for incoming tcp connections.
