2026-08-10svcrdma: Reject inline replies that overflow the pull-up bufferChuck Lever
An RPC-over-RDMA client can request a reply, such as an NFS READ payload, without providing a Write list or a Reply chunk to carry it. When such a reply needs more scatter/gather entries than the device's Send Queue supports, svc_rdma_pull_up_needed() selects pull-up and svc_rdma_pull_up_reply_msg() linearizes the whole reply into sctxt->sc_xprt_buf. That buffer is only sc_max_req_size bytes, while the reply on this path is bounded only by the client's request, so svc_rdma_xb_linearize() copies past the end of the buffer and corrupts adjacent slab memory. The oversized length is then stored in sc_sges[0].length and posted, so the device also reads beyond the mapped region. The SGE-exhaustion branch is the only pull-up path that can exceed the buffer: the threshold branch pulls up only replies smaller than RPCRDMA_PULLUP_THRESH, and replies that fit the device's SGE budget are sent directly without linearization. Make svc_rdma_pull_up_needed() report -E2BIG when the reply it would pull up cannot fit sc_max_req_size, and fail the request with ERR_CHUNK as RFC 8166 Section 4.5.3 directs rather than dropping the connection. The helper no longer answers a simple yes/no question: it now reports pull-up, no pull-up, or -E2BIG for a reply too large to linearize. Rename svc_rdma_pull_up_needed() to svc_rdma_check_pull_up() so its name no longer implies a boolean predicate.

2026-08-10rpcrdma: arm rn_done before publishing the notificationChuck Lever
rpcrdma_rn_register() inserts @rn into rd_xa with xa_alloc() before storing the caller's callback in rn->rn_done. The xarray makes @rn reachable to rpcrdma_remove_one(), which walks rd_xa and invokes rn->rn_done(rn) for every registered notification. A device removal that races a fresh registration can therefore observe @rn with rn_done still NULL, because the notification objects are zero allocated by their owners, and call through a NULL function pointer. Store rn->rn_done before xa_alloc() publishes @rn. The xarray's store-side and load-side ordering then guarantees that any CPU which finds @rn in rd_xa also observes the armed callback. rpcrdma_rn_unregister() treats a non-NULL rn_done as the sentinel for a completed registration, so the early store must not survive a failed registration. Clear rn_done again when xa_alloc() fails. Were it left set, the failed-accept cleanup path would call rpcrdma_rn_unregister() on an @rn that was never inserted, erasing an unrelated rd_xa slot and underflowing rd_kref.

2026-08-10svcrdma: Clear sc_cm_id when ADDR_CHANGE replacement failsChuck Lever
When svc_rdma_listen_handler() handles RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE, it creates a replacement listener cm_id and returns 1, telling the CM core to destroy the old one. If the replacement allocation fails, sc_cm_id still points at the old cm_id that the CM core is about to destroy. Any subsequent dereference of sc_cm_id -- such as svc_rdma_detach()'s rdma_disconnect() call -- is a use-after-free. NULL sc_cm_id on the failure path and guard svc_rdma_detach()'s rdma_disconnect() call against NULL so that the listener can be torn down safely when the server shuts down.

2026-08-10svcrdma: Reject connection when transport allocation failsChuck Lever
handle_connect_req() returns without action when svc_rdma_create_xprt() fails to allocate the new transport. The CM core returns 0 for CONNECT_REQUEST events, so it does not destroy the new rdma_cm_id. Each allocation failure under memory pressure leaks one rdma_cm_id, and a remote peer driving connection attempts can amplify this. Reject the connection by returning a non-zero status from the CM event handler, which tells the CM core to destroy the orphaned cm_id.

2026-08-10svcrdma: Use svc_xprt_put to free listener on create failureChuck Lever
svc_rdma_create() calls kfree(cma_xprt) when svc_rdma_create_listen_id() fails. svc_xprt_init() has already acquired a net namespace reference via get_net_track(); kfree bypasses svc_xprt_free() which releases it. Replace the kfree() with svc_xprt_put() so the kref_init birth reference drops to zero and svc_xprt_free() dispatches svc_rdma_free() to clean up properly. sc_cm_id is still NULL at that point; the preceding patch added the necessary NULL guard in svc_rdma_free(). svc_xprt_free() also drops the module reference via module_put(), but the caller _svc_xprt_create() does the same on xpo_create failure, double-putting the single try_module_get() it acquired. Take a compensating __module_get() before the svc_xprt_put() to keep the count balanced, matching the convention in svc_rdma_accept()'s error path.

2026-08-10svcrdma: Reorder rpcrdma_rn_unregister before rdma_destroy_idChuck Lever
svc_rdma_free() caches rdma->sc_cm_id->device before teardown, then calls rdma_destroy_id(sc_cm_id) which frees the cm_id. rpcrdma_rn_unregister() follows, but between those two calls the transport's sc_rn entry is still installed in the device's rd_xa. A concurrent ib_unregister_device walk can dispatch svc_rdma_xprt_done() against the now-freed sc_cm_id. Move rpcrdma_rn_unregister() before rdma_destroy_id() so the transport's notification entry is removed from the xarray before the cm_id it references is destroyed. Also guard the sc_cm_id dereference with a NULL check: the following patches introduce paths that reach svc_rdma_free() with sc_cm_id == NULL (listener create failure, ADDR_CHANGE replacement failure).

2026-08-10svcrdma: Fix unmatched rn_unregister on failed acceptChris Mason
When svc_rdma_accept() takes the errout path before rpcrdma_rn_register() has succeeded, the existing cleanup block calls rpcrdma_rn_unregister(dev, &newxprt->sc_rn) unconditionally. svcxprt_rdma is kzalloc'd, so on that path sc_rn.rn_index is 0 and sc_rn.rn_done is NULL; the unregister therefore xa_erase()s another caller's slot 0 and performs an unmatched kref_put() on the rpcrdma_device's rd_kref. The same errout also brackets the cleanup with svc_xprt_get()/ svc_xprt_put() around the kref_init() birth reference. The kref goes 1 -> 2 -> 1 and never reaches 0, so the svcxprt_rdma (and the net/ns_tracker it pinned) is leaked on every failed accept. rpcrdma_rn_register() writes rn->rn_done last, only after xa_alloc() and kref_get() have both succeeded, so rn_done == NULL is a natural "never registered" sentinel. Guard rpcrdma_rn_unregister() with an early return when rn_done is NULL, and clear rn_done before the matching xa_erase() so a repeated unregister is also a no-op. With that guard in place, the accept errout drops the kref_init() birth reference via svc_xprt_put(), which dispatches svc_rdma_free(). Teardown of sc_qp, sc_sq_cq, sc_rq_cq, and sc_pd runs under existing IS_ERR/NULL guards in svc_rdma_free(); sc_rn is covered by the new rn_done sentinel; sc_cm_id is non-NULL on every errout path because svc_rdma_accept() dereferences it above the first goto errout. svc_xprt_free() drops the module reference associated with the freed transport, and svc_handle_xprt() drops its pre-acquired reference when ->xpo_accept() returns NULL. Take a replacement module reference before svc_xprt_put() so the two module_put()s remain balanced. The rn_done guard also covers svc_rdma_free()'s non-listener call to rpcrdma_rn_unregister() for transports whose register attempt failed or never ran.

2026-08-03svcrdma: Reject Read lists that exceed the page budgetChuck Lever
Individual Read segment lengths are validated at decode time, but nothing prevents a requester from sending multiple segments whose cumulative length exceeds the rq_pages array budget. When one segment fills the page array exactly, the runtime guard in svc_rdma_build_read_segment() is bypassed because len reaches zero. A subsequent segment then accesses the NULL sentinel slot at rq_pages[rq_maxpages], resulting in a NULL pointer dereference during DMA mapping. Accumulate pages across all Read segments and reject the message at decode time when the total would overflow the page budget.

2026-08-03svcrdma: Validate Read chunk positions at decode timeChuck Lever
Read chunk position and length validation is currently scattered across three consumer functions: svc_rdma_read_data_item(), svc_rdma_read_multiple_chunks(), and svc_rdma_read_call_chunk(). Each independently guards against the same class of unsigned arithmetic underflow from untrusted wire values. Any new consumer of the parsed Read chunk list must replicate these checks or risk re-introducing the defects fixed by earlier patches in this series. Add pcl_check_read_chunk_positions() to consolidate position and length validation into a single post-decode pass, called from svc_rdma_xdr_decode_req() after all three chunk lists have been parsed and the inline body length is known. The pass verifies three properties: - Each Read chunk's inline-body offset (its unreduced-stream position minus the cumulative length of preceding Read chunks) falls within the inline body length, or within the Call chunk length for interleaved reads. - Adjacent Read chunk positions do not overlap: cumulative read bytes at each transition do not exceed the next position. - Each chunk length does not exceed the receive context's page budget. Malformed frames are rejected before reaching any consumer. The existing consumer-side guards remain as defense in depth.

2026-08-03svcrdma: Reject Write/Reply chunks with segcount 0Chris Mason
A peer can send a Write or Reply chunk whose segcount field is zero. xdr_check_write_chunk() only rejects segcount > rc_maxpages, so zero passes the range check, and xdr_inline_decode(stream, 0) returns the current (non-NULL) cursor without advancing. The function returns true and pcl_alloc_write() then links a struct svc_rdma_chunk with ch_segcount == 0 onto rc_write_pcl or rc_reply_pcl. An earlier patch in this series made pcl_for_each_segment() safe for ch_segcount == 0, so this no longer drives the memory walk it used to. Rejecting the malformed frame at the decode boundary is still worthwhile as defense in depth: it keeps degenerate zero-segment chunks off the parsed chunk lists entirely, so any future consumer that walks ch_segments directly cannot observe one, and it makes the zero-floor easy to backport to trees where the macro change is more intrusive. RFC 8166 has no meaning for a Write/Reply chunk that describes no remote buffer, so no legitimate client is affected. xdr_check_reply_chunk() funnels Reply chunks through xdr_check_write_chunk() and inherits the same rejection. pcl_alloc_write() also links each chunk onto the parsed chunk list before filling its segment array. If a future change weakens the segcount-0 rejection, an incomplete chunk is visible to consumers during the fill loop. Reorder so that list_add_tail() follows the segment fill loop, ensuring only fully-populated chunks appear on the list.

2026-08-03svcrdma: Reject oversized Read segments at decode timeChuck Lever
The RPC/RDMA Read list decoder stores wire-supplied segment lengths without validation. xdr_count_read_segments() checks 4-byte alignment for non-zero position values but does not cap the segment length. An oversized rs_length reaches svc_rdma_build_read_segment(), which derives nr_bvec from it and can drive a large dynamic bvec allocation before verifying that enough rq_pages remain. If the post-allocation page-overrun guard fires, the freshly acquired rw context is not returned, leaking the resource. Reject any segment whose length exceeds the receive context's page budget during Read list decoding, consistent with how xdr_check_write_chunk() bounds Write segment counts against rc_maxpages. Also return the rw context on the existing post-allocation overrun path in svc_rdma_build_read_segment(), keeping that defensive guard balanced.

2026-08-03svcrdma: Fix offset arithmetic in read_chunk_rangeChris Mason
svc_rdma_read_chunk_range() walks a Read chunk's segment list to build a sub-range starting at byte offset and spanning length bytes for a Position-Zero or Call chunk. Two arithmetic defects in the per-segment loop produce wrong DMA lengths and a u32 underflow: pcl_for_each_segment(segment, chunk) { if (offset > segment->rs_length) { offset -= segment->rs_length; continue; } dummy.rs_handle = segment->rs_handle; dummy.rs_length = min_t(u32, length, segment->rs_length) - offset; dummy.rs_offset = segment->rs_offset + offset; First, the skip predicate uses '>' instead of '>='. When offset equals the segment's full rs_length, the segment is fully consumed and should be skipped, but the loop falls through into the body. The resulting dummy.rs_length is min_t(u32, length, rs_length) - rs_length, which underflows to a near-UINT_MAX u32 when length is smaller than rs_length, or is zero otherwise. Second, the length formula subtracts offset from the min_t() result rather than from segment->rs_length before the cap. For offset > 0 the segment's residual is rs_length - offset, not rs_length, so the cap must be applied to the residual. With the current bracketing, whenever length is smaller than rs_length - offset the per-segment length becomes length - offset instead of length, silently dropping offset bytes from the rebuilt chunk. Combined with the boundary case above it also enables the u32 underflow path, which propagates a huge nr_bvec into svc_rdma_build_read_segment() and a multi-MiB kmalloc_array_node() in svc_rdma_get_rw_ctxt(). Additionally, svc_rdma_read_call_chunk() can invoke this function with length == 0 when the last Read chunk ends exactly at the end of the Call chunk. With the corrected >= predicate, every segment is skipped and the function returns the initial -EINVAL, rejecting a valid request. Return success immediately when length is zero. Also break out of the loop once length is fully consumed to avoid passing zero-length segments to svc_rdma_build_read_segment(). Fix by using '>=' so a fully-consumed segment is skipped, by moving '- offset' inside min_t() so the cap is applied to the segment's residual length, by returning success for zero-length requests, and by stopping iteration when the requested range has been consumed.

2026-08-03svcrdma: Validate Read chunk positions before reconstructionChuck Lever
The RPC/RDMA Read chunk position field is supplied by the remote client and stored verbatim in the parsed chunk list. xdr_count_read_segments() checks only 4-byte alignment; it never compares the position against the received inline body length. In the single-chunk path, svc_rdma_read_complete_one() splits the head and tail kvecs at ch_position. A position past the inline body underflows the tail length, exposing adjacent slab memory to the upper XDR decoder. In the multi-chunk path, svc_rdma_read_multiple_chunks() computes gap lengths between chunks as unsigned subtractions from ch_position. Overlapping Read chunks cause these subtractions to underflow. A final position past the inline body likewise underflows the trailing gap length. svc_rdma_copy_inline_range() then copies past the receive buffer into request pages that are returned to the client through the Reply channel. Bound inline-range copies in svc_rdma_copy_inline_range() against the decoded inline RPC body saved in rc_saved_arg. Reject a single Read chunk positioned beyond that body, and reject multi-chunk lists where accumulated read bytes exceed the next chunk's position. Apply the same position and overlap checks in the call-chunk interleaving path.

2026-07-12RDMA: Change capability fields in ib_device_attr from int to u32Erni Sri Satya Vennela
The capability counter fields in struct ib_device_attr are declared as signed int, but these values are inherently non-negative. Drivers maintain their cached caps as u32 and assign them directly into these int fields; if a cap exceeds INT_MAX the implicit narrowing yields a negative value visible to the IB core. Change the signed int capability fields to u32 to match the underlying nature of the data. Also update consumers across the IB core, ULPs, NVMe-oF target, RDS, and NFS/RDMA so the new u32 values are not forced back through signed int or u8 via min()/min_t() or narrowing local variables. The nvmet-rdma consumer of max_srq clamps it against ib_device.num_comp_vectors, which stays a signed int, so that site uses min_t() instead of min() to handle the signed/unsigned mismatch.

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Return sendctx slot after Send preparation failureChuck Lever
rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() gets a sendctx before it maps the SGEs for the Send WR. If one of the mapping helpers fails, no Send WR is posted, so no Send completion is guaranteed to advance rb_sc_tail. Current cleanup clears sc_req so a later completion can sweep over that slot, but a consecutive run of preparation failures can still advance rb_sc_head until the ring appears full. At that point rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked() returns NULL and no Send can be posted to produce the completion needed to recover the ring. The trigger requires CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA and an NFS/RDMA mount. Mount setup and reliable DMA-map fault injection require local admin authority. Unprivileged I/O on an existing mount can exercise the send path, but a remote peer alone cannot force this local DMA-map failure. Add rpcrdma_sendctx_unget_locked() for the single-consumer send path to rewind rb_sc_head when the just-acquired sendctx is canceled before ib_post_send(). Wake waiters after making the slot available again. After the rewind, every slot the completion sweep visits belongs to a posted Send, so rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked() no longer needs to test sc_req before unmapping.

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Repost Receive buffers for malformed repliesChuck Lever
rpcrdma_wc_receive() decrements the transport's Receive count for every completion before it dispatches a successful Receive to rpcrdma_reply_handler(). The handler must post a replacement Receive WR before returning unless ownership of the rep has moved elsewhere, as on the backchannel path. Commit 2ae50ad68cd7 ("xprtrdma: Close window between waking RPC senders and posting Receives") moved the Receive refill out of rpcrdma_wc_receive(), where it had run ahead of every reply, into rpcrdma_reply_handler() so that the responder's credit grant could be parsed before reposting. The bad-version and short-reply exits never reach that refill: they recycle the rep and return without calling rpcrdma_post_recvs(). A remote peer can therefore drain the client's posted Receive queue by sending a sustained stream of replies that are shorter than the fixed transport header or that carry an unrecognized RPC/RDMA version. Each such reply consumes one posted Receive without replacing it. Once the queue empties, the peer's next Send finds no posted Receive and the transport stalls until reconnect. Route both malformed-reply exits through the shared repost tail after recycling the rep, refilling against buf->rb_credits, the most recent accepted credit grant. Neither exit updates the congestion window, so RPCs admitted under the previous grant remain in flight awaiting replies. A smaller refill target would let a stream of malformed replies ratchet the posted Receive count down to the batch floor while the congestion window still admits rb_credits RPCs; a burst of valid replies to those RPCs could then overrun the posted Receives, and because the client connects with rnr_retry_count of zero, a single RNR NAK terminates the connection. Refilling against rb_credits also restores the target that applied to malformed replies before commit 2ae50ad68cd7 ("xprtrdma: Close window between waking RPC senders and posting Receives") when rpcrdma_post_recvs() computed it from rb_credits internally. rb_credits is at least one from connection establishment onward, so the repost path always keeps Receives posted.

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Sanitize the reply credit grant after parsingChuck Lever
The out_norqst exit in rpcrdma_reply_handler() branches away before the credit clamp, so a reply that matches no pending request reaches out_post carrying the raw credit value parsed from the wire. rpcrdma_post_recvs() does not bound its @needed argument: the refill loop allocates and chains Receive WRs until the count is satisfied or allocation fails. A peer that sends a well-formed reply carrying an unknown XID and an inflated credit grant therefore drives rep allocation and Receive posting past re_max_requests on every such reply. Move the clamp to immediately after the credit field is parsed, ahead of the first branch that can reach out_post, so every later consumer sees a sanitized value. The cwnd update stays on the matched-request path.

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Fix bcall rep leak and unbounded peekChris Mason
rpcrdma_is_bcall() decodes a reply's first words to decide whether the frame is a backchannel call. Two issues in that decode path let a short or malformed reply leak the receive buffer and drain the Receive queue. First, the speculative peek p = xdr_inline_decode(xdr, 0); /* five p++ reads follow */ asks xdr_inline_decode() for zero bytes, which returns xdr->p without consulting xdr->end. The five subsequent __be32 reads can then walk up to 20 bytes past the wire payload into stale regbuf contents and misclassify the reply as a backchannel call. Second, after the post-peek p = xdr_inline_decode(xdr, 3 * sizeof(*p)); if (unlikely(!p)) return true; the short-header arm returns true without calling rpcrdma_bc_receive_call(). The contract with the caller is that a true return transfers ownership of rep to the backchannel path: rpcrdma_reply_handler() if (rpcrdma_is_bcall(r_xprt, rep)) return; /* bare return, skips out_post */ ... out_post: rpcrdma_post_recvs(r_xprt, credits + ...); Because rpcrdma_bc_receive_call() never ran, no one took rep, but rpcrdma_reply_handler still bare-returns past rpcrdma_rep_put() and rpcrdma_post_recvs(). The rep, with its persistently DMA-mapped receive buffer, is orphaned on rb_all_reps and freed only at transport teardown. This completion reposts nothing, so its slot is reclaimed only when a later forward-channel reply reaches out_post and rpcrdma_post_recvs() allocates a fresh rep to backfill; absent that traffic the Receive queue drains and the peer's Sends draw RNR NAKs. Fix by consulting xdr->end after the zero-length peek so the five __be32 reads cannot run unless 20 bytes of wire payload remain. A byte-precise comparison against xdr->end is required because a non-4-aligned receive rounds the stream's word count up past the true payload. Also return false from the short-header arm so the reply falls through the normal out_norqst cleanup chain (rpcrdma_rep_put() plus rpcrdma_post_recvs()).

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Resize reply buffers before reposting receivesChuck Lever
Commit 0e13dd9ea8be ("xprtrdma: Remove temp allocation of rpcrdma_rep objects") made rpcrdma_rep objects survive disconnects. That is normally fine, but it also means their receive regbufs keep the size they had when they were first allocated. Each rep's receive buffer is sized to ep->re_inline_recv when the rep is created. rpcrdma_ep_create() resets that threshold to the rdma_max_inline_read ceiling for every new endpoint, and the connect handshake then shrinks it to the peer's advertised inline send size. A rep allocated under a smaller negotiated threshold keeps that size: on disconnect, rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() drains and DMA-unmaps the surviving reps but does not free or resize them. The threshold can come back larger on the next connection. The first peer may supply no RPC-over-RDMA CM private data, defaulting its send size to 1024, while the reconnect target is an ordinary server offering 4096; or, with rdma_max_inline_read raised above its default, the reconnect target may advertise a larger svcrdma_max_req_size than the first. rpcrdma_post_recvs() then reposts a surviving rep whose SGE length is still the old, smaller value, and a larger inline Reply hits a receive length error and forces another disconnect. The undersized rep returns to the free list when its failed Receive flushes, so the following reconnect reposts the same rep and fails the same way. The transport flaps without making forward progress for as long as the peer keeps advertising the larger inline size. This is local/admin-triggerable rather than remote-triggerable: a local administrator must create and maintain the NFS/RDMA mount, while the server or reconnect target has to advertise a larger inline send size and return a reply that uses it. Fix this by checking each rep before it is reposted. If the receive regbuf is smaller than the current endpoint's inline receive size, reallocate it on the current RDMA device's NUMA node and reinitialize the rep's xdr_buf before DMA-mapping and posting the Receive WR.

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Check frwr_wp_create() during connectChuck Lever
frwr_wp_create() creates the singleton Memory Region used to encode padding for Write chunks whose payload length is not XDR-aligned. Its failure paths return a negative errno and leave ep->re_write_pad_mr set to NULL. rpcrdma_xprt_connect() currently ignores that return value. If frwr_wp_create() fails after the rest of the connection setup succeeds, xprt_rdma_connect_worker() treats the connection attempt as successful and sets XPRT_CONNECTED. A later NFS/RDMA read with a non-4-byte-aligned receive page length reaches rpcrdma_encode_write_list(), passes the NULL write-pad MR to encode_rdma_segment(), and dereferences it. This is locally triggerable on an NFS/RDMA client after a connect or reconnect hits a local MR allocation, DMA-map, MR-map, or post-send failure; a remote peer alone cannot force the local MR setup failure. Check the return value and fail the connect as -ENOTCONN, matching the adjacent setup failures. This keeps XPRT_CONNECTED clear and lets the normal reconnect path retry.

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Initialize re_id before removal registrationChris Mason
rpcrdma_create_id() registers ep->re_rn with the rpcrdma ib_client before returning the new rdma_cm_id to rpcrdma_ep_create(). However rpcrdma_ep_create() currently stores that pointer in ep->re_id only after rpcrdma_create_id() returns. A local administrator can race an NFS/RDMA mount against RDMA device removal. If rpcrdma_remove_one() observes the just-registered notification before rpcrdma_ep_create() assigns ep->re_id, rpcrdma_ep_removal_done() calls trace_xprtrdma_device_removal(NULL). The tracepoint dereferences id->device->name and copies id->route.addr.dst_addr, so the callback can crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference. Store the rdma_cm_id in ep->re_id immediately before publishing ep->re_rn. The existing error path still destroys the id directly if registration fails; ep is then freed by the caller without using ep->re_id. Remove the later duplicate assignment in rpcrdma_ep_create().

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Fix ep kref imbalance on ADDR_CHANGEChris Mason
rpcrdma_cm_event_handler() falls through to the disconnected: label on RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE and calls rpcrdma_ep_put() with no matching get when the event arrives before RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED. The kref then underflows during connect teardown and rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() operates on a freed ep. Reference counts across a normal connection lifecycle: rpcrdma_ep_create() kref_init ->1 rpcrdma_xprt_connect() ep_get ->2 (before post_recvs) RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED ep_get ->3 RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED ep_put ->2 rpcrdma_xprt_drain() ep_put ->1 rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() tail ep_put ->0 (ep_destroy) The connect-time get in rpcrdma_xprt_connect(), taken just before rpcrdma_post_recvs() "while there are outstanding Receives," is balanced by rpcrdma_xprt_drain. ADDR_CHANGE before ESTABLISHED has no get to consume, so its put drops the count to 1 and the drain put then frees the ep while rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() still holds a pointer to it. Fix by dispatching on the prior re_connect_status via xchg(): for prev == 0 (pre-ESTABLISHED) wake the connect waiter and return with no put; for prev == 1 call rpcrdma_force_disconnect() and return. The case-1 arm relies on the subsequent RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED event -- reliably delivered when rdma_disconnect() is called on a still-connected cm_id -- to balance the ESTABLISHED get; rpcrdma_xprt_drain() continues to balance only that connect-time get. Any other prior value means teardown is already in flight.

2026-06-10xprtrdma: Convert send buffer free list to llistChuck Lever
rpcrdma_buffer_get() and rpcrdma_buffer_put() both take rb_lock to pop/push from the rb_send_bufs free list. Under high I/O concurrency (e.g., nconnect=N with small random writes), this spinlock is contended between the request submission path and the transport completion path. Replace the list_head with an llist_head. The put side uses lockless llist_add(), which is safe for concurrent producers. The get side retains the spinlock to satisfy the llist single-consumer contract portably; submitters continue to serialize there. Completion handlers returning buffers no longer contend on rb_lock, eliminating contention on the return path. rb_lock remains for the MR free list and the tracking lists used during setup and teardown. rb_free_reps already uses llist_head, so the llist idiom is established in this structure. The precedent is the data structure, not the locking: rb_free_reps serializes its single consumer through the re_receiving gate in rpcrdma_post_recvs, whereas rb_send_bufs serializes its consumer with rb_lock. Both satisfy the llist single-consumer contract. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@hammerspace.com>
2026-06-09svcrdma: wake sq waiters when the transport closesChuck Lever
Threads parked in svc_rdma_sq_wait() on sc_sq_ticket_wait or sc_send_wait can hang indefinitely in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state across transport teardown, pinning svc_xprt references and blocking svc_rdma_free(). The close path sets XPT_CLOSE before invoking xpo_detach and both wait_event predicates include an XPT_CLOSE term, but the predicates are re-evaluated only on wakeup. sc_sq_ticket_wait has no completion-driven wake path; it is advanced solely by the chained ticket handoff inside svc_rdma_sq_wait() itself. Without an explicit wake at close, parked threads never observe XPT_CLOSE, hold their svc_xprt_get reference forever, and svc_rdma_free() blocks on xpt_ref dropping to zero. Two close entry points reach this transport. Local teardown runs svc_rdma_detach() from svc_handle_xprt() -> svc_delete_xprt() -> xpo_detach() on a worker thread. A remote disconnect arrives at svc_rdma_cma_handler(), which calls svc_xprt_deferred_close(): that sets XPT_CLOSE and enqueues the transport but does not access either RDMA waitqueue, so a worker already parked in svc_rdma_sq_wait() never re-evaluates its predicate. With every worker parked on this transport, no thread is available to run the local teardown either, and the wake site there is unreachable. Introduce svc_rdma_xprt_deferred_close(), a thin svcrdma wrapper that calls svc_xprt_deferred_close() and then wakes both sc_sq_ticket_wait and sc_send_wait. Convert the svcrdma producers that called svc_xprt_deferred_close() directly: svc_rdma_cma_handler(), qp_event_handler(), svc_rdma_post_send_err(), svc_rdma_wc_send(), the sendto drop path, the rw completion error paths, and the recvfrom flush and read-list error paths. Wake both waitqueues from svc_rdma_detach() as well. The synchronous svc_xprt_close() path (backchannel ENOTCONN, device removal via svc_rdma_xprt_done) reaches detach without flowing through svc_xprt_deferred_close() and therefore does not invoke the new helper.

2026-06-09Revert "svcrdma: Use contiguous pages for RDMA Read sink buffers"Chuck Lever
Jonathan Flynn reports that commit 18755b8c2f24 ("svcrdma: Use contiguous pages for RDMA Read sink buffers") regresses NFS/RDMA WRITE throughput from 73.9 GiB/s to 30.3 GiB/s on a 128-core single-NUMA-node server driving dual 400Gb/s links with 640 nfsd threads. Server CPU utilization rises from 8.5% to 76%, with roughly three quarters of all cycles spent spinning on zone->lock. The sink buffers are allocated as high-order page blocks, split into single pages so each sub-page carries an independent refcount, and later released one page at a time through folio batches. The per-CPU page caches cannot satisfy an allocation stream whose alloc order differs from its free order, so every sink buffer page makes a round trip through the buddy allocator's free lists, serialized on the zone lock of the single NUMA node. The rq_pages entries that the split pages displace, bulk-allocated moments earlier by svc_alloc_arg(), are freed without ever being used, doubling the allocator traffic. The regression cannot be addressed trivially. Revert the commit now; a reworked approach can return in an upcoming merge window.

2026-06-09svcrdma: Defer send context release to xpo_release_ctxtChuck Lever
Send completion currently queues a work item to an unbound workqueue for each completed send context. Under load, the Send Completion handlers contend for the shared workqueue pool lock. Replace the workqueue with a per-transport lock-free list (llist). The Send completion handler appends the send_ctxt to sc_send_release_list and does no further teardown. The nfsd thread drains the list in xpo_release_ctxt between RPCs, performing DMA unmapping, chunk I/O resource release, and page release in a batch. This eliminates both the workqueue pool lock and the DMA unmap cost from the Send completion path. DMA unmapping can be expensive when an IOMMU is present in strict mode, as each unmap triggers a synchronous hardware IOTLB invalidation. Moving it to the nfsd thread, where that latency is harmless, avoids penalizing completion handler throughput. The nfsd threads absorb the release cost at a point where the client is no longer waiting on a reply, and natural batching amortizes the overhead when completions arrive faster than RPCs complete. A self-enqueue backstops drain on a quiescing transport. When svc_rdma_send_ctxt_put() observes that its llist_add() transitions sc_send_release_list from empty to non-empty, it sets XPT_DATA and calls svc_xprt_enqueue() so that svc_xprt_ready() schedules an nfsd thread. The thread enters svc_rdma_recvfrom(), finds no pending receive, clears XPT_DATA, and returns 0; svc_xprt_release() then runs xpo_release_ctxt and drains the list. Under steady load the foreground drain keeps the list non-empty between adds and no enqueue fires; only the trailing edge of a burst pays for a wakeup. Without this path, a Send completion arriving after the last xpo_release_ctxt on an idle connection would leave the send_ctxt's DMA mappings and reply pages pinned until the next RPC, send-context exhaustion, or transport close.

2026-06-09svcrdma: Release write chunk resources without re-queuingChuck Lever
Each RDMA Send completion triggers a cascade of work items on the svcrdma_wq unbound workqueue: ib_cq_poll_work (on ib_comp_wq, per-CPU) -> svc_rdma_send_ctxt_put -> queue_work [work item 1] -> svc_rdma_write_info_free -> queue_work [work item 2] Every transition through queue_work contends on the unbound pool's spinlock. Profiling an 8KB NFSv3 read/write workload over RDMA shows about 4% of total CPU cycles spent on this lock, with the cascading re-queue of write_info release contributing roughly 1%. The initial queue_work in svc_rdma_send_ctxt_put is needed to move release work off the CQ completion context (which runs on a per-CPU bound workqueue). However, once executing on svcrdma_wq, there is no need to re-queue for each write_info structure. svc_rdma_reply_chunk_release already calls svc_rdma_cc_release inline from the same svcrdma_wq context, and svc_rdma_recv_ctxt_put does the same from nfsd thread context. Release write chunk resources inline in svc_rdma_write_info_free, removing the intermediate svc_rdma_write_info_free_async work item and the wi_work field from struct svc_rdma_write_info.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Document and assert reply-handler invariantsChuck Lever
The xprtrdma reply path has been the subject of recurring LLM-driven review claims that 'an RPC can complete while receive buffers are still DMA-mapped' or that 'the req can be freed while the HCA still owns the send buffer.' No runtime reproducer has surfaced, but the absence of a written-down invariant set lets each pass of automated review reach the same hypothetical conclusion. Subsequent fixes against ce2f9a4d9ccc ('xprtrdma: Decouple req recycling from RPC completion') closed the underlying races but did not document the closure where future readers will look for it. State the invariants explicitly in a comment above rpcrdma_reply_handler() and back four of them with WARN_ON_ONCE() probes positioned where each invariant is locally checkable on the previous patch's cleaned-up ownership state: - I1 (Receive WR ownership): WARN at rpcrdma_post_recvs() that a rep pulled from rb_free_reps carries rr_rqst == NULL. - I2 (rep attachment): WARN at rpcrdma_reply_put() that req->rl_reply was NULLed before the matching rep_put. - I3 (Registered-MR fence): WARN at rpcrdma_complete_rqst() that req->rl_registered is empty. Strong send-queue ordering of the LocalInv WR chain makes the last completion observe the ib_dma_unmap_sg() of every earlier MR, so 'list empty' implies 'all MRs unmapped'. - I4 (Send-buffer release): WARN at rpcrdma_req_release() that req->rl_sendctx is NULL. Reaching the kref release callback requires both the RPC-layer and Send-side references to have dropped; the Send-side drop runs in rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap(), which clears rl_sendctx (previous patch). A non-NULL rl_sendctx here would mean the Send-side owner had not run -- a contradiction. The XXX comment in xprt_rdma_free() about signal-driven release racing the Send completion described the pre-decouple state. Replace it with a one-line note pointing at the invariant set, since the kref scheme now holds the req across the in-flight Send regardless of which path released the rpc_task. I5 (req lifecycle) is stated in the comment but not probed: making it locally assertible would require moving kref_init out of rpcrdma_req_release(), which in turn requires adding kref_init to the bc_pa_list and backlog-wake reuse paths.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Clear receive-side ownership pointers on releaseChuck Lever
Three small ownership-state cleanups land the transport in a state that lets future reviewers reason about each pointer locally rather than tracing the whole reply path: rpcrdma_rep_put() clears rep->rr_rqst before the rep enters rb_free_reps so that no rep on the free list still carries a stale rqst pointer. rpcrdma_reply_handler() and rpcrdma_unpin_rqst() are the only sites that set rr_rqst; rpcrdma_reply_handler() hands the rep through rpcrdma_rep_put(), and rpcrdma_unpin_rqst() NULLs rr_rqst directly because its error path abandons the rep for teardown cleanup rather than returning it to rb_free_reps. rpcrdma_reply_put() NULLs req->rl_reply before calling rpcrdma_rep_put(). The previous order placed the rep on rb_free_reps while req->rl_reply still pointed at it; the window was harmless because xprt_rdma_free_slot() holds the req exclusively across the pair, but closing it makes the invariant 'rep on rb_free_reps implies no req references it' strictly checkable. rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() and rpcrdma_sendctx_cancel() clear req->rl_sendctx after dropping the sendctx pointer in the sendctx ring. Without this, req->rl_sendctx survives across Send completion and points at a sendctx that may already have been reassigned by rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked() to a different req. No caller dereferences the stale pointer today -- rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() overwrites it before the next Send -- but a NULL is a more honest representation of 'the Send is no longer outstanding' and lets the assertion patch that follows trip on any future regression.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Add request-pool slack for delayed recyclingChuck Lever
After the previous patch gates req recycling on Send completion, a completed RPC's rpcrdma_req can remain pinned by the sendctx ring until the next signaled Send completion releases it. The transmitted-RPC ceiling is unchanged: xprt_request_get_cong() gates Sends against xprt->cwnd, the RPC/RDMA credit window fed by server-granted credits and capped at re_max_requests. The req pool, however, must exceed max_reqs by enough that this recycle delay does not stall a slot allocation that the credit window would admit. The headroom is bounded. frwr_open() sets re_send_batch to re_max_requests >> 3 -- one in every eight Sends is signaled -- so at most re_send_batch unsignaled Sends can be outstanding before the next signaled completion releases them. That equals max_reqs / 8 reqs in the worst case, with a one-slot floor for small max_reqs values where the right-shift rounds to zero. The sendctx ring and the hardware Send Queue are not enlarged to match. Both are sized in rpcrdma_sendctxs_create() and frwr_query_device() for re_max_requests in-flight Sends, which is the ceiling the credit window enforces. The pool slack does not raise that ceiling -- it only lets allocation keep pace with the credit window during the brief interval in which earlier reqs are pinned waiting for the next signaled completion. At any moment, at most re_send_batch sendctxes are held by unswept unsignaled Sends, leaving the rest of the ring available for newly admitted Sends. Allocate max_reqs + DIV_ROUND_UP(max_reqs, 8) request objects and name the slack calculation at the allocation site so the 1/8 bound stays tied to the Send-signaling batch size.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Decouple req recycling from RPC completionChuck Lever
rl_kref formerly served two distinct lifetimes through a single refcount: it gated when a Reply could wake its RPC task, and it gated when an rpcrdma_req could return to its free pool. The marshal path took the Send-side reference only when SGEs needed DMA-unmap (sc_unmap_count > 0), which made a Send carrying only pre-registered buffers an exception: the Reply handler dropped rl_kref from 1 to 0 and freed the req while the HCA might still be DMA-reading from its send buffer. Give rl_kref a narrower job. The RPC layer takes one reference when slot allocation hands a req out. rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() takes a Send-side reference unconditionally after WR preparation succeeds. xprt_rdma_free_slot() and xprt_rdma_bc_free_rqst() drop the RPC-layer reference; rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() drops the Send-side reference. The req returns to its free pool only after both owners have signed off. The existing kref_init(&req->rl_kref) call in rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() is removed. Initialization moves to the slot-allocation paths (xprt_rdma_alloc_slot and rpcrdma_bc_rqst_get), and the release callback re-arms rl_kref before the req returns to a free pool. A re-init in the marshal path would discard the RPC-layer reference that already exists on entry. Three invariants follow: - Any rpcrdma_req held by an rpc_rqst has rl_kref >= 1. xprt_rdma_alloc_slot(), rpcrdma_bc_rqst_get(), and the backlog-wake branch in xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() each kref_init rl_kref before publishing the req. Without this invariant, an RPC task that aborts between slot allocation and marshal (gss_refresh failure or signal during call_connect, for example) would drive xprt_release() -> xprt_rdma_free_slot() -> kref_put against a refcount of zero, saturating refcount_t and stranding the slot. - The Send-side reference is taken only after WR prep succeeds. A mapping failure in rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() runs rpcrdma_sendctx_cancel(), which DMA-unmaps the sendctx and clears sc_req without touching rl_kref. The sendctx ring walks in rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked() and rpcrdma_sendctxs_destroy() skip entries with sc_req == NULL, so a burst of -EIO marshal failures cannot hold reqs off rb_send_bufs. - The release callback re-arms rl_kref so the next consumer enters with the invariant satisfied. Replies now complete the RPC directly. rpcrdma_reply_handler() calls rpcrdma_complete_rqst() in place of kref_put on the non-LocalInv branch. The LocalInv branch already completes the RPC from frwr_unmap_async() and is unaffected. Because Send-side references can now outlive RPC completion, connection teardown drains sendctx entries whose unsignaled Sends never had a later signaled completion to walk the ring. rpcrdma_sendctxs_destroy() walks the active range and runs rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() on each entry with a non-NULL sc_req before the request buffers are reset, and is moved ahead of rpcrdma_reqs_reset() in rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() so the reqs are still in their pre-reset state when the Send-side refs are released. The drain creates a teardown-ordering hazard on the backchannel path. With the new lifetime, releasing a bc_prealloc req from rpcrdma_req_release() re-adds it to bc_pa_list. The disconnect in xprt_rdma_destroy() runs after xprt_destroy_backchannel() has already emptied bc_pa_list, so the drained reqs would otherwise leak. xprt_rdma_destroy() now runs xprt_rdma_bc_destroy(xprt, 0) a second time after the disconnect to reclaim them.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Use sendctx DMA state for Send signalingChuck Lever
Send signaling matters only when the prepared Send has page mappings to unmap. Today that test is expressed indirectly with rl_kref, because the Send-side reference is taken only for Sends with mapped SGEs. Split the SGE DMA unmap loop into its own helper and use sc_unmap_count directly for the signaling decision. This keeps the current behavior but removes one dependency on the old rl_kref semantics before the request lifetime rules are changed.

2026-06-08xprtrdma: Move long delayed work on system_dfl_long_wqMarco Crivellari
Currently the code enqueue work items using {queue|mod}_delayed_work(), using system_long_wq. This workqueue should be used when long works are expected and it is a per-cpu workqueue. The function(s) end up calling __queue_delayed_work(), which set a global timer that could fire anywhere, enqueuing the work where the timer fired. Unbound works could benefit from scheduler task placement, to optimize performance and power consumption. Long work shouldn't stick to a single CPU. Recently, a new unbound workqueue specific for long running work has been added:     c116737e972e ("workqueue: Add system_dfl_long_wq for long unbound works") Since the workqueue work doesn't rely on per-cpu variables, there is no obvious reason that justify the use of a per-cpu workqueue. So change system_long_wq with system_dfl_long_wq so that the work may benefit from scheduler task placement.

2026-04-13xprtrdma: Post receive buffers after RPC completionChuck Lever
rpcrdma_post_recvs() runs in CQ poll context and its cost falls on the latency-critical path between polling a Receive completion and waking the RPC consumer. Every cycle spent refilling the Receive Queue delays delivery of the reply to the NFS layer. Move the rpcrdma_post_recvs() call in rpcrdma_reply_handler() to after the RPC has been decoded and completed. The larger batch size from the preceding patch provides sufficient Receive Queue headroom to absorb the brief delay before buffers are replenished.

2026-04-13xprtrdma: Scale receive batch size with credit windowChuck Lever
The fixed RPCRDMA_MAX_RECV_BATCH of 7 results in frequent small ib_post_recv batches during high-rate workloads. With a 128-slot credit window, receives are reposted every 7th completion, each batch incurring atomic serialization and a doorbell write. Replace the fixed batch constant with a per-endpoint value scaled to 25% of the negotiated credit window. For a typical 128-credit connection this raises the batch from 7 to 32, reducing doorbell frequency by roughly 4x and amortizing the per-batch atomic and MMIO costs over a larger group of receive WRs.

2026-04-13xprtrdma: Replace rpcrdma_mr_seg with xdr_buf cursorChuck Lever
The FRWR registration path converts data through three representations: xdr_buf -> rpcrdma_mr_seg[] -> scatterlist[] -> ib_map_mr_sg(). The rpcrdma_mr_seg intermediate is a relic of when multiple registration strategies existed (FMR, physical, FRWR). Only FRWR remains, so this indirection and the 6240-byte rl_segments[260] array embedded in each rpcrdma_req serve no purpose. Introduce struct rpcrdma_xdr_cursor to track position within an xdr_buf during iterative MR registration. Rewrite frwr_map to populate scatterlist entries directly from the xdr_buf regions (head kvec, page list, tail kvec). The boundary logic for non-SG_GAPS devices is simpler because the xdr_buf structure guarantees that page-region entries after the first start at offset 0, and that head/tail kvecs are separate regions that naturally break at MR boundaries. Fix a pre-existing bug in rpcrdma_encode_write_list where the write-pad statistics accumulator added mr->mr_length from the last data MR rather than the write-pad MR. The refactored code uses ep->re_write_pad_mr->mr_length. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
2026-04-13xprtrdma: Decouple frwr_wp_create from frwr_mapChuck Lever
frwr_wp_create is the only caller of frwr_map outside the encode path. It registers a single 4-byte write-pad region from a stack- local rpcrdma_mr_seg. Inlining the registration logic directly (sg_init_table + sg_set_page + ib_dma_map_sg + ib_map_mr_sg + IOVA mangle + reg_wr setup) eliminates the coupling that would otherwise complicate the removal of rpcrdma_mr_seg from frwr_map's interface. The inlined version adds a proper error-unwind ladder: on failure, the DMA mapping (if established) is released, ep->re_write_pad_mr is cleared, and the MR is returned to the transport free list. The old frwr_map-based code relied on rpcrdma_mrs_destroy at teardown to reclaim partially-initialized MRs. This is a one-time setup path; duplicating ~20 lines is a reasonable tradeoff for decoupling the write-pad registration from the data- path MR registration.

2026-04-13xprtrdma: Close lost-wakeup race in xprt_rdma_alloc_slotChuck Lever
xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() and xprt_rdma_free_slot() lack serialization between the buffer pool and the backlog queue. A buffer freed after rpcrdma_buffer_get() finds the pool empty but before rpc_sleep_on() places the task on the backlog is returned to the pool with no waiter to wake, leaving the task stuck on the backlog indefinitely. After joining the backlog, re-check the pool and route any recovered buffer through xprt_wake_up_backlog(), whose queue lock serializes with concurrent wakeups and avoids double-assignment of slots. Because xprt_rdma_free_slot() does not hold reserve_lock, the XPRT_CONGESTED double-check in xprt_throttle_congested() is ineffective: a task can join the backlog through that path after free_slot has already found it empty and cleared the bit. Avoid this by using xprt_add_backlog_noncongested(), which queues the task without setting XPRT_CONGESTED, so every allocation reaches xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() and its post-sleep re-check.

Commit a721035477fb ("SUNRPC/xprt: async tasks mustn't block waiting for memory") changed xprt_rdma_alloc_slot() to set tk_status to -ENOMEM so that call_reserveresult() would sleep HZ/4 before retrying. That rationale applies to xprt_dynamic_alloc_slot(), where an immediate retry under memory pressure wastes CPU, but not to the RDMA backlog path: a task woken from the backlog has a slot waiting for it, so the 250 ms rpc_delay adds latency without benefit. This also aligns the code with the existing kernel-doc for xprt_rdma_alloc_slot(), which already documented %-EAGAIN.

2026-04-13xprtrdma: Close sendctx get/put race that can block a transportChuck Lever
rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked() and rpcrdma_sendctx_put_locked() can race in a way that leaves XPRT_WRITE_SPACE set permanently, blocking all further sends on the transport: get_locked put_locked (Send completion) ---------- -------------------------- read rb_sc_tail -> ring full advance rb_sc_tail xprt_write_space(): test_bit(WRITE_SPACE) -> not set, return set_bit(WRITE_SPACE) return NULL (-EAGAIN) After the sender releases XPRT_LOCKED, the release path refuses to wake the next task because XPRT_WRITE_SPACE is set. The sender retries, finds XPRT_WRITE_SPACE still set, and sleeps on xprt_sending. No further Send completions arrive to clear the flag because no new Sends can be posted. With nconnect, the stalled transport's share of congestion credits are never returned, starving the remaining transports as well.

2026-04-03svcrdma: Use contiguous pages for RDMA Read sink buffersChuck Lever
svc_rdma_build_read_segment() constructs RDMA Read sink buffers by consuming pages one-at-a-time from rq_pages[] and building one bvec per page. A 64KB NFS READ payload produces 16 separate bvecs, 16 DMA mappings, and potentially multiple RDMA Read WRs (on platforms with 4KB pages). A single higher-order allocation followed by split_page() yields physically contiguous memory while preserving per-page refcounts. A single bvec spanning the contiguous range causes rdma_rw_ctx_init_bvec() to take the rdma_rw_init_single_wr_bvec() fast path: one DMA mapping, one SGE, one WR. The split sub-pages replace the original rq_pages[] entries, so all downstream page tracking, completion handling, and xdr_buf assembly remain unchanged. Allocation uses __GFP_NORETRY | __GFP_NOWARN and falls back through decreasing orders. If even order-1 fails, the existing per-page path handles the segment. When nr_pages is not a power of two, get_order() rounds up and the allocation yields more pages than needed. The extra split pages replace existing rq_pages[] entries (freed via put_page() first), so there is no net increase in per- request page consumption. Successive segments reuse the same padding slots, preventing accumulation. The rq_maxpages guard rejects any allocation that would overrun the array, falling back to the per-page path. Under memory pressure, __GFP_NORETRY causes the higher- order allocation to fail without stalling. The contiguous path is attempted when the segment starts page-aligned (rc_pageoff == 0) and spans at least two pages. NFS WRITE segments carry application-modified byte ranges of arbitrary length, so the optimization is not restricted to power-of-two page counts. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
2026-03-29svcrdma: Factor out WR chain linking into helperChuck Lever
svc_rdma_prepare_write_chunk() and svc_rdma_prepare_reply_chunk() contain identical code for linking RDMA R/W work requests onto a Send context's WR chain. This duplication increases maintenance burden and risks divergent bug fixes. Introduce svc_rdma_cc_link_wrs() to consolidate the WR chain linking logic. The helper walks the chunk context's rwctxts list, chains each WR via rdma_rw_ctx_wrs(), and updates the Send context's chain head and SQE count. Completion signaling is requested only for the tail WR (posted first). No functional change. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
2026-03-29svcrdma: Add Write chunk WRs to the RPC's Send WR chainChuck Lever
Previously, Write chunk RDMA Writes were posted via a separate ib_post_send() call with their own completion handler. Each Write chunk incurred a doorbell and generated a completion event. Link Write chunk WRs onto the RPC Reply's Send WR chain so that a single ib_post_send() call posts both the RDMA Writes and the Send WR. A single completion event signals that all operations have finished. This reduces both doorbell rate and completion rate, as well as eliminating the latency of a round-trip between the Write chunk completion and the subsequent Send WR posting. The lifecycle of Write chunk resources changes: previously, the svc_rdma_write_done() completion handler released Write chunk resources when RDMA Writes completed. With WR chaining, resources remain live until the Send completion. A new sc_write_info_list tracks Write chunk metadata attached to each Send context, and svc_rdma_write_chunk_release() frees these resources when the Send context is released. The svc_rdma_write_done() handler now handles only error cases. On success it returns immediately since the Send completion handles resource release. On failure (WR flush), it closes the connection to signal to the client that the RPC Reply is incomplete. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
