Currently, when the MR free list is exhausted during marshaling, the RPC/RDMA transport places the RPC task on the delayq, which forces a wait for HZ >> 2 before the marshal and send is retried. With this change, the transport now places such an RPC task on the pending queue, and wakes it just as soon as more MRs have been created. Creating more MRs typically takes less than a millisecond, and this waking mechanism is less deadlock-prone. Moreover, the waiting RPC task is holding the transport's write lock, which blocks the transport from sending RPCs. Therefore faster recovery from MR exhaustion is desirable. This is the same mechanism that the TCP transport utilizes when handling write buffer space exhaustion.

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.
