I haven't gone over all of the patch yet, but at least this part is
of the claims you make seems wrong:

It is, too. new skb is allocated with ipoib_cm_alloc_rx_skb, and that has
	priv->cm.srq_ring[id].skb = skb;
	return skb;

This assignment is already done as part of ipoib_cm_alloc_rx_skb.

What am I missing?
