Thanks Dan, partial_fpdus is released during qed_iwarp_resc_free, called from qed_rdma_resc_free
called on qed_rdma_stop and on failure during qed_rdma_start.
Regarding ll2 buffers. For each successfully allocated buffer we call
qed_iwarp_ll2_post_rx->qed_ll2_post_rx_buffer.
These buffers will get released and freed when we call qed_ll2_terminate_connection
called from qed_iwarp_ll2_stop ( which is called during qed_iwarp_ll2_start on error ).
thanks,
Michal
