An update regarding the SRPT and SRP issues reported in this e-mail thread:
* At least on my setup, the latest SRPT revision (r1153 or later) runs
fine  -- all issues reported in this (really long) e-mail thread
should have been resolved in that SRPT revision.
* Unfortunately this doesn't mean that the SRP initiator lockup is
gone. I'm still able to trigger this issue, both with the SRP
initiator included in the mainstream Linux kernel and with the SRP
initiator included in OFED. More details can be found here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14235 and
https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1745.
