Yuk, that is a terrible reason for this. list_del_init() would solve
that problem.

This is doing more than the commit message says, we are now changing
the order for when the mad is in the list, here you are removing it as
soon as it becomes done, or semi-done instead of letting
ib_mad_complete_send_wr() always remove it.

I couldn't find a reason it is not OK, but I think it should be in the
commit message.

This extra if is confusing now.. There are two callers to
ib_mad_complete_send_wr(), the receive path did ib_mark_mad_done()
first so state should be DONE or EARLY_RESP and the list_del was done
already.

The other one is send completion which should have state be SEND_START
*and* we hit an error making the send, then we remove it from the list?

Again I think this needs to go further and stop using ->status as part
of the FSM too.

Trying again, maybe like this:

	spin_lock_irqsave(&mad_agent_priv->lock, flags);
	if (ib_mad_kernel_rmpp_agent(&mad_agent_priv->agent)) {
		ret = ib_process_rmpp_send_wc(mad_send_wr, mad_send_wc);
		if (ret == IB_RMPP_RESULT_CONSUMED)
			goto done;
	} else
		ret = IB_RMPP_RESULT_UNHANDLED;

	if (mad_send_wr->state == IB_MAD_STATE_SEND_START) {
		if (mad_send_wc->status != IB_WC_SUCCESS &&
		    mad_send_wr->timeout) {
			wait_for_response(mad_send_wr);
			goto done;
		    }
		/* Otherwise error posting send */
		list_del(&mad_send_wr->agent_list);
	}

	WARN_ON(mad_send_wr->state != IB_MAD_STATE_EARLY_RESP &&
		mad_send_wr->state != IB_MAD_STATE_DONE);

	mad_send_wr->state = IB_MAD_STATE_DONE;
	mad_send_wr->status = mad_send_wc->status;
	adjust_timeout(mad_agent_priv);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mad_agent_priv->lock, flags);


Though that might require changing cancel_mad too, as in the other
message, I think with the FSM cancel_mad should put the state to DONE
and leave the status alone.

This status fiddling is probably another patch.
