When an RPC Call includes a file data payload, that payload can come from pages in the page cache, or a user buffer (for direct I/O). If the payload can fit inline, xprtrdma includes it in the Send using a scatter-gather technique. xprtrdma mustn't allow the RPC consumer to re-use the memory where that payload resides before the Send completes. Otherwise, the new contents of that memory would be exposed by an HCA retransmit of the Send operation. So, block RPC completion on Send completion, but only in the case where a separate file data payload is part of the Send. This prevents the reuse of that memory while it is still part of a Send operation without an undue cost to other cases. Waiting is avoided in the common case because typically the Send will have completed long before the RPC Reply arrives. These days, an RPC timeout will trigger a disconnect, which tears down the QP. The disconnect flushes all waiting Sends. This bounds the amount of time the reply handler has to wait for a Send completion.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
