Greetings Bart,

Using a completion queue here with possibility of the extra context
switch is IMHO an unnecessary overhead.  The main issue here is that
target core needs to be able to clear the struct se_cmd descriptor after
invoking the struct target_core_fabric_ops->send_data_in() callback, but
before the call to srpt_handle_send_comp() -> release of the fabric
dependent descriptor containing our struct se_cmd can happen.

I prefer something along the lines of the patch below for
lio-core-2.6.git/tcm_ib_srpt to follow what other TCM v4 HW fabric
modules are currently doing wrt to TFO->check_stop_free() usage.  This
patch has been compile tested only at this point, but I will be testing
this on IB hardware in the upcoming week.  Please review.

Thanks,
