[PATCH v2] RDMA/irdma: always route IB_WR_REG_MR through the allocated PBL

From: Stefan Metzmacher

Date: Mon Oct 12 2026 - 12:33:26 EST


irdma_alloc_mr() always allocates a PBL via irdma_get_pble(), but
irdma_post_send()'s IB_WR_REG_MR handling only pointed the FAST_REGISTER
WQE at that PBL (chunk_size != 0, first_pm_pbl_index) when
iwmr->npages exceeded IRDMA_MIN_PAGES_PER_FMR (1) - leaving chunk_size
at 0 for a single-page (npages == 1) registration, telling hardware to
use direct/PBL-less addressing for a registration that was never
allocated that way.

This reproduces as data corruption / an IOMMU IO_PAGE_FAULT when a
peer later performs an RDMA WRITE/READ against such a single-page
FRWR-registered MR, even though ib_map_mr_sg() itself reports success.
100% reproducible on iWARP, intermittent on RoCEv2, with fs/smb/smbdirect's
own single-page memory registrations on an Intel E810-CQDA2 (irdma).

Intel's current out-of-tree irdma driver (2.6.96) never gates this on
npages - it always sets chunk_size/first_pm_pbl_index based on the
actual PBL level (PBLE_LEVEL_1 vs PBLE_LEVEL_2), matching what
irdma_alloc_mr() actually allocated. Mirror that here instead of the
npages-based heuristic.

Also drop the reg_addr_pa assignment. irdma_sc_mr_fast_register()
packs reg_addr_pa into the FAST_REGISTER WQE's PBLADDR field, which
hardware only consults when chunk_size == 0 (direct/PBL-less
addressing); with chunk_size now always nonzero for this opcode, that
field is never read for IB_WR_REG_MR and the assignment is dead code -
Intel's driver never sets it for this path either (only the separate,
non-FRWR irdma_sc_mr_reg_non_shared() path actually branches on
chunk_size between reg_addr_pa and first_pm_pbl_index). Removing it is
not required for correctness: *palloc->level1.addr is always a
page-aligned address (low 12 bits zero), so it could never have
collided with the first_pm_pbl_index bits sharing those same bit
positions in the WQE word even if some path still read it.
