[PATCH] RDMA/iser: Unmap Data-Out header DMA on send failure

From: lirongqing

Date: Sun Sep 20 2026 - 23:40:53 EST


From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@xxxxxxxxx>

iser_send_data_out() maps the tx_desc header for DMA via
iser_initialize_task_headers() (which sets tx_desc->mapped and calls
ib_dma_map_single()). The normal completion path hands unmap and free
off to the iser_dataout_comp() completion callback.

However, if a later step fails -- the bounds check
(buf_offset + data_seg_len > data_len) or iser_post_send() -- control
jumps to send_data_out_error, which only calls kmem_cache_free() without
ib_dma_unmap_single(). Because the WR was never posted, the completion
callback never fires to unmap it, so the DMA mapping is leaked.

Unmap the header DMA in the error path when tx_desc->mapped is set,
mirroring the pattern already used in iscsi_iser_cleanup_task().
