The normal mechanism that invalidates and unmaps MRs is frwr_unmap_async(). frwr_unmap_sync() is used only when an RPC Reply bearing Write or Reply chunks has been lost (ie, almost never). Coverity found that after commit 9a301cafc861 ("xprtrdma: Move fr_linv_done field to struct rpcrdma_mr"), the while() loop in frwr_unmap_sync() exits only once @mr is NULL, unconditionally causing dereferences of @mr to Oops. I've tested this fix by creating a client that skips invoking frwr_unmap_async() when RPC Replies complete. That forces all invalidation tasks to fall upon frwr_unmap_sync(). Simple workloads with this fix applied to the adulterated client work as designed.
