Bart Van Assche d6c58dc40f IB/SRP: Avoid using IB_MR_TYPE_SG_GAPS
Tests have shown that the following error message is reported when
using SG-GAPS registration with an mlx5 adapter:

scsi host1: ib_srp: failed RECV status WR flushed (5) for CQE ffff880bd4270eb0
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

scsi host1: ib_srp: failed FAST REG status memory management operation error (6) for CQE ffff880b92860138

Hence avoid using SG-GAPS memory registrations. Additionally,
always configure the blk_queue_virt_boundary() to avoid to trigger
a mapping failure when using adapters that support SG-GAPS (e.g.
mlx5).

Fixes: commit ad8e66b4a801 ("IB/srp: fix mr allocation when the device supports sg gaps")
Fixes: commit 509c5f33f4f6 ("IB/srp: Prevent mapping failures")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
