Hi Moni,

I got the NVMf with RXE connection problems (minus the KASAN splats)
traced down to the check_rkey() function. It bailes out on this code
in check_rkey():

       if (pkt->mask & RXE_WRITE_MASK)  {
                if (resid > mtu) {
                        if (pktlen != mtu || bth_pad(pkt)) {
                                state = RESPST_ERR_LENGTH;
                                goto err;
                        }

			qp->resp.resid = mtu;
                } else {
                        if (pktlen != resid) {


This even happens if I set the mtu to 9000.

I instrumented the driver to get some more debug information out of it and
here's the last output I see before nvme enters an error state and reconnects:

rdma_rxe: write_data_in: data_len: 4096, qp->resp.resid: 4096
rdma_rxe: check_rkey: mtu: 4096, resid: 12288, pktlen: 4096
rdma_rxe: write_data_in: data_len: 4096, qp->resp.resid: 4096
rdma_rxe: check_rkey: mtu: 4096, resid: 0, pktlen: 4096
rdma_rxe: qp#19 moved to error state
nvme nvme0: RECV for CQE 0xffff88001f0ef240 failed with status WR flushed (5)

qp->resp.resid comes from this hunk in check_rkey():
       if (pkt->mask & (RXE_READ_MASK | RXE_WRITE_MASK)) {
                if (pkt->mask & RXE_RETH_MASK) {
                        qp->resp.va = reth_va(pkt);
                        qp->resp.rkey = reth_rkey(pkt);
                        qp->resp.resid = reth_len(pkt);

So I suppose reth_len() has some hiccups here. I'll continue debugging and
report back any new findings.

Byte,
	Johannes
