This logic sets the connection parameter that configures the local device
and informs the remote peer how many concurrent incoming RDMA_READ
requests are supported. The original logic didn't really do what was
intended for two reasons:
- The max number supported by the device is typically smaller than
any one factor in the calculation used, and
- The field in the connection parameter structure where the value is
stored is a u8 and always overflows for the default settings.
So what really happens is the value requested for responder resources
is the left over 8 bits from the "desired value". If the desired value
happened to be a multiple of 256, the result was zero and it wouldn't
connect at all.
Given the above and the fact that max_requests is almost always larger
than the max responder resources supported by the adapter, this patch
simplifies this logic and simply requests the max supported by the device,
subject to a reasonable limit.
