From: Leon Romanovsky <leo...@mellanox.com>
A CQ overrun is checked while posting a completion, and if
encountered, the QP is transferred to the appropriate error
state.
CQ update (and error discovery) are not synchronized with
WQE execution. Thus, a positive acknowledgement can be sent
to the remote request, and subsequently a CQ overrun may be
detected. Hardware may not write the CQE as a result of the
error, and the CQ will be transitioned to an error state as
well as the QP that caused the CQ error.
To avoid these errors, software usually ensures that the
number of WQEs posted to a QP does not exceed the number
of entries in the CQ associated with this QP. When multiple
QPs post completions into the same CQ, this check is cumulative.
CQ ignore overrun flag instructs the HW doesn't ring doorbells
on updates of CQ consumer counter (poll for completion) or
request completion notifications (Arm CQ).
