In the context of FRMR (ib_frmr.c): Memory regions make it onto the "clean_list" via "rds_ib_flush_mr_pool", after the memory region has been posted for invalidation via "rds_ib_post_inv". At that point in time, "fr_state" may still be in state "FRMR_IS_INUSE", since the only place where "fr_state" transitions to "FRMR_IS_FREE" is in "rds_ib_mr_cqe_handler", which is triggered by a tasklet. So in case we notice that "fr_state != FRMR_IS_FREE" (see below), we wait for "fr_inv_done" to trigger with a maximum of 10msec. Then we check again, and only put the memory region onto the drop_list (via "rds_ib_free_frmr") in case the situation remains unchanged. This avoids the problem of memory-regions bouncing between "clean_list" and "drop_list" before they even have a chance to be properly invalidated.

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.
