[PATCH v2] RDMA/rtrs-clt: Fix recv repost to satisfy ib_drain_rq

From: Quanye Yang via B4 Relay

Date: Mon Oct 05 2026 - 05:03:17 EST


From: Quanye Yang <quanyeyang@xxxxxxxxx>

On disconnect the client error recovery path calls ib_drain_qp(), which
requires one free RQ slot and that no recv WQEs are posted while the
queue is being drained.

When the server is loaded with always_invalidate=N, the path does not
advertise RTRS_MSG_NEW_RKEY_F. A client-requested invalidation is then
a standalone SEND_WITH_INV. The recv completion path did not repost
that WQE; it posted two empty recv WQEs later, when the RDMA-with-IMM
response carried RTRS_IO_RSP_W_INV_IMM. If the invalidate receive
never arrived, each such response increased RQ occupancy by one until
ib_post_recv() started returning -ENOMEM and __ib_drain_rq() failed
with:

failed to drain recv queue: -12

Repost one empty recv WQE for every receive completion, including
SEND_WITH_INV completions on the always_invalidate=N path, and only
while the path is still connected so CQ polling cannot race with
ib_drain_qp(). Size IO connection RQs to 2 * queue_depth + 1 to match
the posted recv count and leave the drain slot.

Tested with a synthetic RTRS client flooding unpaired
RTRS_IO_RSP_W_INV_IMM messages; error recovery no longer triggers
__ib_drain_rq() warnings.

Changes in v2:
- Clarify that the broken recv-repost path is always_invalidate=N
(no RTRS_MSG_NEW_RKEY_F).
- Collect Acked-by from Jack Wang.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260921-rtrs-fix-ib-drain-rq-v1-1-11b1637958ba@xxxxxxxxx
