Thanks for reporting.

That's the warning... But I'm having troubles understanding how can this
be a nvme-rdma issue. We only allocate in .queue_rq if we passed which
means that the queue has READY on, and before we destroy the qp only
after we:
1. quiesced all the request queues
2. cancel all started requests (which trigger nvme_rdma_complete_request
that returns the mr to the pool)

So the only way I see that we can get here, is if
blk_mq_complete_request does not call __blk_mq_complete_request.

This can happen when:
--
         /*
          * If @rq->aborted_gstate equals the current instance, timeout is
          * claiming @rq and we lost.  This is synchronized through
          * hctx_lock().  See blk_mq_timeout_work() for details.
          *
          * Completion path never blocks and we can directly use RCU here
          * instead of hctx_lock() which can be either RCU or SRCU.
          * However, that would complicate paths which want to synchronize
          * against us.  Let stay in sync with the issue path so that
          * hctx_lock() covers both issue and completion paths.
          */
         hctx_lock(hctx, &srcu_idx);
         if (blk_mq_rq_aborted_gstate(rq) != rq->gstate)
                 __blk_mq_complete_request(rq);
         hctx_unlock(hctx, srcu_idx);

Does this mean that the block driver must not assume that .complete will
be called on a timed out request for sure?

Is this easy to reproduce Bart? Does this patch help?
