Subject: [PATCH 01/16] NTB: ntb_transport: Abort link setup on QP MW allocation failure
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2026 01:51:20 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260810165136.2292436-2-den@valinux.co.jp> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260810165136.2292436-1-den@valinux.co.jp>

ntb_transport_setup_qp_mw() can fail while growing a QP's RX entry pool,
but the link worker ignores that error. The worker can then publish a QP
whose memory-window state is only partly initialized, and later work can
use stale or incomplete pointers.

Set up every QP memory window before publishing the transport link. On
failure, clear the QP pointers before releasing its MW backing and leave
the link down.

Fixes: a754a8fcaf38 ("NTB: allocate number transport entries depending on size of ring size")
