Subject: [PATCH 4.9 34/59] nvmet-rdma: fix possible bogus dereference under heavy load

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sagi Grimberg <sagi@...mberg.me>

[ Upstream commit 8407879c4e0d7731f6e7e905893cecf61a7762c7 ]

Currently we always repost the recv buffer before we send a response
capsule back to the host. Since ordering is not guaranteed for send
and recv completions, it is posible that we will receive a new request
from the host before we got a send completion for the response capsule.

Today, we pre-allocate 2x rsps the length of the queue, but in reality,
under heavy load there is nothing that is really preventing the gap to
expand until we exhaust all our rsps.

To fix this, if we don't have any pre-allocated rsps left, we dynamically
allocate a rsp and make sure to free it when we are done. If under memory
pressure we fail to allocate a rsp, we silently drop the command and
wait for the host to retry.
