Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] scsi: elx: efct: free the HIO when the WQE cannot be built
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:22:02 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806202205.345326-3-ali@iusegentoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806192345.328621-1-ali@iusegentoo.com>
efct_els_hw_srrs_send() and efct_hw_bls_send() allocate an HIO, ask sli4
to build a WQE into it, and give up when that fails without putting the
HIO back:
if (sli_els_request64_wqe(&hw->sli, hio->wqe.wqebuf, hio->sgl,
&els_params)) {
efc_log_err(hw->os, "REQ WQE error\n");
rc = -EIO;
}
Nothing has been submitted at that point, so no completion will arrive to
release it, and the entry sits on hw->io_inuse until the adapter is torn
down. Each failure costs the pool one entry, and once it is empty
efct_hw_io_alloc() fails and no further ELS, CT or BLS frame can be sent.
Release the HIO on those paths. The efct_hw_wq_write() failure below is
deliberately left alone: it can return an error while this request is
still queued on wq->pending_list, so the HIO cannot be handed back there
without more care.
Fixes: dd53d333aadb ("scsi: elx: efct: Hardware I/O submission routines")
