Subject: [PATCH for-rc 2/7] RDMA/bnxt_re: Honor a completion that races with a wait timeout
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 04:33:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028113404.33289-3-selvin.xavier@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261028113404.33289-1-selvin.xavier@broadcom.com>

If the wait helper gives up (timeout or firmware stall) and the CREQ
tasklet processes the command before the waiter takes hwq->lock, the
response is already copied into the caller's buffer and is_in_used is
clear. The waiter still returns -ETIMEDOUT and may set
FIRMWARE_STALL_DETECTED, and for CREATE_AH the handler skips
destroy_timedout_ah() because the waiter was alive, so the AH leaks in
firmware.

Under the lock, if the slot no longer holds this command's response
buffer, a completion was delivered. Use its status instead of failing.

To keep that check valid, never reuse a cookie slot that is still in
use: __send_message() returns -EAGAIN and __send_message_no_waiter()
drops the internal command.

A slot stays in use only while its completion is outstanding. If that
completion never arrives, the cause is a PCI error or firmware still
processing the command, so there is no point in posting more commands.
Continuing to return -EAGAIN until firmware completes the command in
order is intended; otherwise recovery is initiated.

An internal destroy_ah dropped for the same reason leaks the AH in
firmware; this is accepted and the comment in
bnxt_qplib_service_creq() is updated to say so.

Fixes: 691eb7c6110f ("RDMA/bnxt_re: handle command completions after driver detect a timedout")
