Think SMC_WR_BUF_CNT_SEND := SMC_WR_BUF_CNT used in send context and
SMC_WR_BUF_CNT_RECV := 3 * SMC_WR_BUF_CNT used in recv context. Those
get replaced with lgr->pref_send_wr and lgr->max_recv_wr respective.  
Yes it is just in the commit message, I messed up the search and replace
in the commit message. :(

I personally prefer max_send_wr/max_recv_wr.
Will go back to that then for v3

While at it let us also remove a confusing comment that is either not
about the context in which it resides (describing
qp_attr.cap.pref_send_wr and qp_attr.cap.max_recv_wr) or not applicable  
                ^
I haven't found pref_send_wr in qp_attr.cap
Again search and replace. Sorry!

The final 'this control' looks unwanted.
 

You are right

I will have to do some digging, let's assume for now that it is my
mistake. Unfortunately I won't be able to revisit this before next
Wednesday.

Thank you for your review!
