The WARNING seems to be due to nvmet_rdma_queue_connect() calling flush_scheduled_work() while in the upcall from the RDMA_CM. It I running
on
quoted
the iw_cm event workqueue, which is created with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set. I'mnotquoted
sure what this WARNING is telling me. Does the iw_cm workqueue NOT need WQ_MEM_RECLAIM set? Or is there some other issue with the nvmet/rdmacode doingquoted
work flushing in the iw_cm workq context?This flush is designed to prevent nvmet-rdma from having too much inflight resources in case of a high pace of controller teardown and establishment (like you trigger in your test). queue teardowns are run on system_wq, does iw_cm needs memory reclamation protection?
I don't know. I read the workqueue doc on WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, but I don't know who to tell if iw_cm needs this or not. Can you give me an example of a workqueue that _does_ need WQ_MEM_RECLAIM? I _think_ it means your workqueue is required to run something that would get triggered by the oom OS code, but I don't know if that would include rdma CMs or not... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
