According to SRP specifications 'srp-r16a' and 'srp2r06',
IOControllerProfile attributes for SRP target port include the maximum
initiator to target IU size.
SRP connection daemons, such as srp_daemon, can get the value from the
subnet manager. The SRP connection daemon can pass this value to kernel.
This patch adds a parse function for it.
Upstream commit [1] enables the kernel parameter, 'use_imm_data', by
default. [1] also use (8 * 1024) as the default value for kernel parameter
'max_imm_data'. With those default values, the maximum initiator to target
IU size will be 8260.
In case the SRPT modules, which include the in-tree 'ib_srpt.ko' module,
do not support SRP-2 'immediate data' feature, the default maximum
initiator to target IU size is significantly smaller than 8260. For
'ib_srpt.ko' module, which built from source before [2], the default
maximum initiator to target IU is 2116.
[1] introduces a regression issue for old srp targets with default kernel
parameters, as the connection will be rejected because of a too large
maximum initiator to target IU size.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
