When a QP is put into error state, all pending requests in the send work
queue should be drained. The following sequence of events could lead to a
failure, causing a request to hang:
(1) The QP builds a packet and tries to send through SDMA engine.
However, PIO engine is still busy. Consequently, this packet is put on
the QP's tx list and the QP is put on the PIO waiting list. The field
qp->s_flags is set with HFI1_S_WAIT_PIO_DRAIN;
(2) The QP is put into error state by the user application and
notify_error_qp() is called, which removes the QP from the PIO waiting
list and the packet from the QP's tx list. In addition, qp->s_flags is
cleared of RVT_S_ANY_WAIT_IO bits, which does not include
HFI1_S_WAIT_PIO_DRAIN bit;
(3) The hfi1_schdule_send() function is called to drain the QP's send
queue. Subsequently, hfi1_do_send() is called. Since the flag bit
HFI1_S_WAIT_PIO_DRAIN is set in qp->s_flags, hfi1_send_ok() fails. As
a result, hfi1_do_send() bails out without draining any request from
the send queue;
(4) The PIO engine completes the sending and tries to wake up any QP on
its waiting list. But the QP has been removed from the PIO waiting
list and therefore is kept in sleep forever.
The fix is to clear qp->s_flags of HFI1_S_ANY_WAIT_IO bits in step (2).
HFI1_S_ANY_WAIT_IO includes RVT_S_ANY_WAIT_IO and HFI1_S_WAIT_PIO_DRAIN.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
