Transport disconnect processing does a "wake pending tasks" at various points. Suppose an RPC Reply is being processed. The RPC task that Reply goes with is waiting on the pending queue. If a disconnect wake-up happens before reply processing is done, that reply, even if it is good, is thrown away, and the RPC has to be sent again. This window apparently does not exist for socket transports because there is a lock held while a reply is being received which prevents the wake-up call until after reply processing is done. To resolve this, all RPC replies being processed on an RPC-over-RDMA transport have to complete before pending tasks are awoken due to a transport disconnect. Callers that already hold the transport write lock may invoke ->ops->close directly. Others use a generic helper that schedules a close when the write lock can be taken safely.

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.
