Re: [PATCH rdma-next v9] RDMA: Change capability fields in ib_device_attr from int to u32

I originally left max_srq as int because its only consumer pairs it with
num_comp_vectors (a signed int) in nvmet_rdma, so keeping it int let
that site stay a plain min() instead of a min_t().

num_comp_vectors is the completion-vector count, legitimately int and
never anywhere near INT_MAX, so I'd prefer to leave it signed rather
than convert it everywhere. Does that work for you, or would you rather
num_comp_vectors be converted too?
In this patch no, but it is worth to write this in commit message.

Thanks
Thanks for the confirmation, Leon.

I'll use min_t for max_srq and document it in the commit message.

If it needs converting, I'll do it as a separate patch, since it lives
in a different struct (ib_device) and touches many call sites.
Otherwise, using min_t() for just this one call is fine too.

Thanks,
Vennela
