[PATCH v2] RDMA/srpt: Clamp the CQ size request to max_cqe
From: Serhat Kumral
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 16:04:31 EST
srpt_create_ch_ib() asks ib_cq_pool_get() for ch->rq_size + sq_size
completion queue entries. rq_size is bounded by max_qp_wr, but sq_size
comes from the per-port srp_sq_size configfs attribute, which is only
validated against MAX_SRPT_SRQ_SIZE (65535) and never compared with
dev->attrs.max_cqe. The largest configuration srpt accepts therefore
asks for 128 + 65535 = 65663 entries, while rxe caps max_cqe at 32767
and cxgb4 and ionic are in the same range.
Such a request cannot be met, and ib_cq_pool_get() does not reject it.
It clamps every CQ it creates to max_cqe, so no CQ it adds to the pool
can ever fit the request, and it keeps allocating batches until the
allocation fails. A single SRP login against such a target exhausts
memory:
Out of memory and no killable processes...
Kernel panic - not syncing: System is deadlocked on memory
Workqueue: ib_cm cm_work_handler
Call Trace:
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof
vmalloc_user_noprof
rxe_queue_init
rxe_cq_from_init
rxe_create_cq
__ib_alloc_cq
ib_cq_pool_get
srpt_cm_req_recv.cold
Before commit c804af2c1d31 ("IB/srpt: use new shared CQ mechanism") the
same request went to ib_alloc_cq_any(), which rejected it with -EINVAL.
The existing backoff, which halves sq_size when queue pair creation
fails, only runs after ib_cq_pool_get() has returned, so shrink sq_size
before asking for the CQ. rq_size never exceeds MAX_SRPT_RQ_SIZE (128),
far below the max_cqe any device reports in practice, so the
subtraction does not underflow. With the clamp the same login proceeds
exactly like a correctly sized target.

Changes since v1:
- Move the fix from the RDMA core to ib_srpt, as requested by Leon
Romanovsky.
- Clamp sq_size before the CQ request instead of rejecting oversized
requests in ib_cq_pool_get().
