Yes. Note: SQ_DRAIN == CLOSING state for iWARP QPs. CLOSING state means the
transport will try and do an orderly shutdown.

The iWARP QP states are different from IB unfortunately. And the way iWARP was
plugged into the original IB-centric RDMA subsystem,
this difference is not very visible. Moving an iWARP to CLOSING/SQD begins an
"orderly close" of the TCP connection. IE TCP FIN,
FIN/ACK, ACK.

The problem with moving the QP -> CLOSING (aka SQD) is this: as per the iWARP
Verbs spec, ULPS _must_ quiesce the SQ before moving
it to CLOSING. IE make sure there are no outstanding SQ WRs. So the drain
operation really has to be done _before_ the move to
CLOSING/SQD. :( If there _are_ outstanding SQ WRs when an attempt to move the
QP to CLOSING, or an ingress RDMA operation arrives
while the QP is in CLOSING (and doing a TCP fin/fin-ack exchange), the QP is
immediately moved to ERROR. Also, no WR posts are
allowed while the QP is in CLOSING, unlike the IB SQD state.
The valid drain logic that I think needs to be implemented to support iWARP is
one of two methods:
1) as I said before, enhance the ib_qp struct to have a "flush complete"
completion object, changes the providers to all complete
that object when a) they are in ERROR and b) the SQ and RQ become empty (or is
already empty). Then ib_drain_qp() just waits for
this completion.
2) change the iwarp providers to allow posting WRs while in ERROR. One way is
do this and still support the requirement that "at
some point while in error, the provider must synchronously fail posts", is to
allow the posts if the SQ or RQ still has pending WRs,
but fail immediately if the SQ or RQ is already empty. Thus the "drain" WRs
issued by iw_drain_qp() would work if they were needed,
and fail immediately if they are not needed. In either case, the flush
operation is complete.
I really wish the iWARP spec architects had avoided these sorts of diversions
from the IB spec....
Steve.
