My conclusion was from trying to figure out why the warning was seen in var log messages which then followed with error that retry limit exceeded and connection manager dropping and re establishing the connection. Sounds like my conclusion wasnt correct. 

It seems like this warning is meant to signal that something went wrong in the code and this state of wqe status success yet being in error state is unexpected.

I thought the developers would be interested in investigating but maybe it’s not an interesting condition. Specially since it sounds like your assessment is that packet loss causes the hiccup.

I wish then there was a warning that notes packet loss and warns the user. I understand the protocol assumes lossless communication so it shouldn’t be dealing w packet loss.

What other specifics can I provide? I added printks trying to trace the WARN message. Should I share a patch w printks w the output?

I was running NFS testsuite (cthon). This was done on a laptop running 2VMs.

I’m not sure if the setup experienced packet drops. What could I check to provide you with information if RXE was experiencing packet loss? I don’t believe I saw any packet loss on the wireshark capture that was going at the time. 

Thank you.
