Hi,

I take a closer look today.

The warning occurs when destroying PD whose reference count is not zero.

Precodition: clt_path->s.con_num is 2.
So 2 cm connection will be created as below:
CPU0                                              CPU1
init_conns {                              |
     create_cm() // a. con[0] created        |
                                             |  a'. rtrs_clt_rdma_cm_handler() {
                                             |    rtrs_rdma_addr_resolved()
                                             |      create_con_cq_qp(con); << con[0]
                                             |  }
                                             | in this moment, refcnt of PD was increased to 2+
What do you mean "refcnt of PD"? usecnt in struct ib_pd or dev_ref.
I mean usecnt in struct ib_pd



                                             |
     create_cm() // b. cid = 1, failed       |
       destroy_con_cq_qp()                   |
         rtrs_ib_dev_put()                   |
           dev_free()                        |
             ib_dealloc_pd(dev->ib_pd) << PD |
              is destroyed, but refcnt is    |
              still greater than 0           |
Assuming you mean "pd->usecnt". We only allocate pd in con[0] by rtrs_ib_dev_find_or_add,
if con[1] failed to create cm, then alloc_path_reqs -> ib_alloc_mr -> atomic_inc(&pd->usecnt)

The above can't be invoked, right?

can't be triggered. Is there other places could increase the refcnt?
Yes, when create a qp, it will also associate to this PD, that also mean refcnt of PD will be increased.

When con[0](create_con_cq_qp) succeeded, refcnt of PD will be 2. and then when con[1] failed, since
QP didn't create, refcnt of PD is still 2. con[1]'s cleanup will destroy the PD(ib_dealloc_pd) since dev_ref = 1, after that its
refcnt is still 1.

I can see the path increase usecnt to 1.

rtrs_cq_qp_create -> create_qp
                    -> rdma_create_qp
                        -> ib_create_qp
                            -> create_qp
                            -> ib_qp_usecnt_inc which increases pd->usecnt

Where is another place to increase usecnt to 2?

Then what is the appropriate time to call destroy_con_cq_qp for this scenario?
Otherwise there could be memory leak.
we must ensure QP in con[0] is closed before destroying the PD.
Currently destroy_con_cq_qp() subroutine will close the opened QP first.

Let me try another way, with below change, rtrs_ib_dev_put can't be called
from destroy_con_cq_qp, right?

+ if (!con->has_dev)
+ return;
if (clt_path->s.dev_ref && !--clt_path->s.dev_ref) {
rtrs_ib_dev_put(clt_path->s.dev);
clt_path->s.dev = NULL;

Then when will you dealloc pd and free rtrs_ib_dev?

Thanks,
Guoqing
