Calling ib_poll_cq() to sort through WCs during a completion is a
common pattern amongst RDMA consumers. Since commit 14d3a3b249
("IB: add a proper completion queue abstraction"), WC sorting can
be handled by the IB core.
By converting to this new API, xprtrdma is made a better neighbor to
other RDMA consumers, as it allows the core to schedule the delivery
of completions more fairly amongst all active consumers.
Because each ib_cqe carries a pointer to a completion method, the
core can now post its own operations on a consumer's QP, and handle
the completions itself, without changes to the consumer.
Send completions were previously handled entirely in the completion
upcall handler (ie, deferring to a process context is unneeded).
Thus IB_POLL_SOFTIRQ is a direct replacement for the current
xprtrdma send code path.
