rdma_resolve_addr(3) says: > This call is used to map a given destination IP address to a > usable RDMA address. The IP to RDMA address mapping is done > using the local routing tables, or via ARP. If this can't be done, there's no local device that can be used to establish an RDMA-capable network path to the remote. In this case, the RDMA CM very quickly posts an RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_ERROR upcall. Currently rpcrdma_conn_upcall() converts RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_ERROR to EHOSTUNREACH. mount.nfs seems to want to retry EHOSTUNREACH forever, thinking that this is a temporary situation. This makes mount.nfs appear to hang if I try to mount with proto=rdma through, say, a conventional Ethernet device. If the admin has specified proto=rdma along with a server IP address that requires a network path that does not support RDMA, instead let's fail with a permanent error. -EPROTONOSUPPORT is returned when NFSv4 or one of its minor versions is not supported. -EPROTO is not (currently) retried by mount.nfs. There are potentially other similar cases where -EPROTO is an appropriate return code.

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.
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.
