The original reason for allocating svc_rdma_recv_ctxt objects during
Receive completion was to ensure the objects were allocated on the
NUMA node closest to the underlying IB device.
Since commit c5d68d25bd6b ("svcrdma: Clean up allocation of
svc_rdma_recv_ctxt"), however, the device's favored node is
explicitly passed to the memory allocator.
To enable switching Receive completion to soft IRQ context, move
memory allocation out of completion handling, since it can be
costly, and it can sleep.
A limited number of objects is now allocated at "accept" time.

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.
