      IB/iser: Avoid recv buffer exhaustion caused by unexpected PDUs · bba7ebba
      David Disseldorp authored
      iSCSI/iSER targets may send PDUs without a prior request from the
      initiator.  RFC 5046 refers to these PDUs as "unexpected".  NOP-In PDUs
      with itt=RESERVED and Asynchronous Message PDUs occupy this category.
      
      The amount of active "unexpected" PDU's an iSER target may have at any
      time is governed by the MaxOutstandingUnexpectedPDUs key, which is not
      yet supported.
      
      Currently when an iSER target sends an "unexpected" PDU, the
      initiators recv buffer consumed by the PDU is not replaced.  If over
      initial_post_recv_bufs_num "unexpected" PDUs are received then the
      receive queue will run out of receive work requests entirely.
      
      This patch ensures recv buffers consumed by "unexpected" PDUs are
      replaced in the next iser_post_receive_control() call.
