Indeed, it is my long term goal to remove error reporting from 'dealloc' style driver functions. Only Emulex's driver reports errors here, and *nothing* pays attention to them, or has any recovery strategy. The best iterm option is to WARN_ON here: > > - (void) ocrdma_mbx_dealloc_lkey(dev, mr->hwmr.fr_mr, mr->hwmr.lkey); > > + ret = ocrdma_mbx_dealloc_lkey(dev, mr->hwmr.fr_mr, mr->hwmr.lkey); And Emulex should work to fix their driver so dealloc failures are either impossible or cause a full device reset of some kind.
