In current kernels, waiting in xprt_release appears to be safe to do. I had erroneously believed that for ASYNC RPCs, waiting of any kind in xprt_release->xprt_rdma_free would result in deadlock. I've done injection testing and consulted with Trond to confirm that waiting in the RPC release path is safe. For the very few times where RPC resources haven't yet been released earlier by the reply handler, it is safe to wait synchronously in xprt_rdma_free for invalidation rather than defering it to MR recovery. Note: When the QP is error state, posting a LocalInvalidate should flush and mark the MR as bad. There is no way the remote HCA can access that MR via a QP in error state, so it is effectively already inaccessible and thus safe for the Upper Layer to access. The next time the MR is used it should be recognized and cleaned up properly by frwr_op_map.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
