[PATCH for-next v2 6/9] RDMA/rxe: Fix deadlock in rxe_do_local_ops()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When a local operation (invalidate mr, reg mr, bind mw) is finished
there will be no ack packet coming from a responder to cause the
wqe to be completed. This may happen anyway if a subsequent wqe
performs IO. Currently if the wqe is signalled the completer
tasklet is scheduled immediately but not otherwise.

This leads to a deadlock if the next wqe has the fence bit set in
send flags and the operation is not signalled. This patch removes
the condition that the wqe must be signalled in order to schedule
the completer tasklet which is the simplest fix for this deadlock
and is fairly low cost. This is the analog for local operations of
always setting the ackreq bit in all last or only request packets
even if the operation is not signalled.
