The retry loop the above messages refer to got introduced a long time ago: commit ab477c1ff5e0a744c072404bf7db51bfe1f05b6e Author: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun Oct 19 18:05:33 2014 +0300 srp-target: Retry when QP creation fails with ENOMEM It is not guaranteed to that srp_sq_size is supported by the HCA. So if we failed to create the QP with ENOMEM, try with a smaller srp_sq_size. Keep it up until we hit MIN_SRPT_SQ_SIZE, then fail the connection. [ ... ] The only recent change in that code is that retry attempts are now logged. >From commit 0e9949f1db6c "IB/srpt: Add RDMA/CM support": + if (ret) { + bool retry = sq_size > MIN_SRPT_SQ_SIZE; + + pr_err("failed to create queue pair with sq_size = %d (%d)%s\n", + sq_size, ret, retry ? " - retrying" : ""); + if (retry) { + ib_free_cq(ch->cq); + sq_size = max(sq_size / 2, MIN_SRPT_SQ_SIZE); + goto retry; + } else { + goto err_destroy_cq; } - pr_err("failed to create_qp ret= %d\n", ret); - goto err_destroy_cq; } Do you perhaps want that pr_err() to be changed into a pr_debug() for retry attempts?
