Before the testing, we already passed it to rxe_mr_copy() where mr could
be dereferenced. so this checking is not exactly correct.

I tried to figure out the details how/when mr could be NULL, but failed
at last. Add a WARN_ON(!mr) to that path to tell us more when it
happends.
If I get you correctly, you confronted a problem,
Not exactly,  I removed the mr checking since i think this checking is not correct.
the newly added WARN_ON(!mr) is the only once place where the mr can be NULL but not handled correctly.
At least with/without this patch, once WARN_ON(!mr) is triggered, kernel will go something wrong.

so i want to place this  WARN_ON(!mr) to point to the problem.

Thanks
Zhijian

  but you can not figure it out.
So you send it upstream as a patch?

I am not sure if it is a good idea.
