[PATCH] IB/mlx4: Fix stale CM id_map entries when RTU is never received
From: Praveen Kumar Kannoju
Date: Thu May 07 2026 - 11:52:51 EST
mlx4_ib_multiplex_cm_handler() allocates an id_map_entry for CM
transactions, but the entry is only released on DREQ or REJ flows.
In the duplicate REP handling scenario, cm_dup_rep_handler() may get
invoked when the remote side receives a REP for which no matching
cm_id_priv exists. In such cases the CM handshake never reaches RTU,
and the sender side may never receive either DREQ or REJ cleanup events.
As a result, the allocated id_map_entry remains indefinitely, resulting in
a stale mapping leak.
Fix this by scheduling delayed cleanup immediately after allocating the
id_map_entry. The delayed work is cancelled once CM_RTU_ATTR_ID is
received, indicating that the CM handshake completed successfully.
This ensures abandoned mappings are eventually reclaimed even when RTU is
never received.
