[PATCH] ib_srpt: use kvmalloc to allocate ring pointers

From: Jan Dakinevich
Date: Mon Jul 09 2018 - 09:51:27 EST


An array of pointers to SRPT contexts in ib_device is over 30KiB even
in default case, in which an amount of contexts is 4095. The patch
is intended to weed out large contigous allocation for non-DMA memory.
