What prevents an agent from deregistering while a send is outstanding? What'll free the mad_priv then?


Nothing. I think there is some missing code in ib_agent_port_close to
handle this scenario.

However, unless that MAD from the SM were directed locally (and was
pending), that would not cause the problem where the ib_mad cache could
not be destroyed. I will see if I can recreate this and work up a patch
for this.

Sending a MAD will result in taking a reference on the corresponding MAD agent. If unregister is called, the call will first cancel all outstanding sends, and then wait for the reference count to go to zero.


It should be noted that until unregister returns MADs can be received by the user, and the MADs must be freed.
