Dan Aloni reports that when a server disconnects abruptly, a few memory regions are left DMA mapped. Over time this leak could pin enough I/O resources to slow or even deadlock an NFS/RDMA client. I found that if a transport disconnects before pending Send and FastReg WRs can be posted, the to-be-registered MRs are stranded on the req's rl_registered list and never released -- since they weren't posted, there's no Send completion to DMA unmap them.
