That’s exactly what this patch does. The relevant part of rpcrdma_buffer_put() is: list_add(&mw->mw_list, &buf->rb_mws); This is now wrapped with a reference count so that rpcrdma_buffer_put() and the LOCAL_INV completion can run in any order. The FRMR is added back to the list only after both of those two have finished. Nothing in xprt_rdma_free() is allowed to sleep, so we can’t wait for LOCAL_INV completion in there. The only alternative I can think of is having rpcrdma_buffer_get() check fr_state as it removes FRMRs from the rb_mws list. Only if the FRMR is marked FRMR_IS_INVALID, rpcrdma_buffer_get() will add it to the rpcrdma_req. -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
