During each NFSv4 callback Call, an RDMA Send completion frees the page that contains the RPC Call message. If the upper layer determines that a retransmit is necessary, this is too soon. One possible symptom: after a GARBAGE_ARGS response an NFSv4.1 callback request, the following BUG fires on the NFS server: kernel: BUG: Bad page state in process kworker/0:2H pfn:7d3ce2 kernel: page:ffffea001f4f3880 count:-2 mapcount:0 mapping: (null) index:0x0 kernel: flags: 0x2fffff80000000() kernel: raw: 002fffff80000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 fffffffeffffffff kernel: raw: dead000000000100 dead000000000200 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 kernel: page dumped because: nonzero _refcount kernel: Modules linked in: cts rpcsec_gss_krb5 ocfs2_dlmfs ocfs2_stack_o2cb ocfs2_dlm ocfs2_nodemanager ocfs2_stackglue rpcrdm a ib_ipoib rdma_ucm ib_ucm ib_uverbs ib_umad rdma_cm ib_cm iw_cm x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp coretemp kvm_intel kvm irqbypass crct10dif_pc lmul crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel pcbc iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support aesni_intel crypto_simd glue_helper cryptd pcspkr lpc_ich i2c_i801 mei_me mf d_core mei raid0 sg wmi ioatdma ipmi_si ipmi_devintf ipmi_msghandler shpchp acpi_power_meter acpi_pad nfsd nfs_acl lockd auth_rpcgss grace sunrpc ip_tables xfs libcrc32c mlx4_en mlx4_ib mlx5_ib ib_core sd_mod sr_mod cdrom ast drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops ttm ahci crc32c_intel libahci drm mlx5_core igb libata mlx4_core dca i2c_algo_bit i2c_core nvme kernel: ptp nvme_core pps_core dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod dax kernel: CPU: 0 PID: 11495 Comm: kworker/0:2H Not tainted 4.14.0-rc3-00001-g577ce48 #811 kernel: Hardware name: Supermicro Super Server/X10SRL-F, BIOS 1.0c 09/09/2015 kernel: Workqueue: ib-comp-wq ib_cq_poll_work [ib_core] kernel: Call Trace: kernel: dump_stack+0x62/0x80 kernel: bad_page+0xfe/0x11a kernel: free_pages_check_bad+0x76/0x78 kernel: free_pcppages_bulk+0x364/0x441 kernel: ? ttwu_do_activate.isra.61+0x71/0x78 kernel: free_hot_cold_page+0x1c5/0x202 kernel: __put_page+0x2c/0x36 kernel: svc_rdma_put_context+0xd9/0xe4 [rpcrdma] kernel: svc_rdma_wc_send+0x50/0x98 [rpcrdma] This issue exists all the way back to v4.5, but refactoring and code re-organization prevents this simple patch from applying to kernels older than v4.12. The fix is the same, however, if someone needs to backport it.
