Sagi, you originally proposed this in a patch for debugging the crash where
a request is accessing a queue with rdma resources freed:
@@ -542,11 +542,12 @@ static int nvme_rdma_create_queue_ib(struct
nvme_rdma_queue *queue,
goto out_destroy_qp;
}
set_bit(NVME_RDMA_IB_QUEUE_ALLOCATED, &queue->flags);
+ clear_bit(NVME_RDMA_Q_DELETING, &queue->flags);
return 0;
Perhaps this is how we should proceed?
