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?
