Re: mlx4_core 0000:07:00.0: swiotlb buffer is full and OOM observed during stress test on reset_controller

Hi Sagi
With this path, the OOM cannot be reproduced now.

But there is another problem, the reset operation[1] failed at iteration 1007.

Leon, the release work makes progress, but it is inherently slower
than the establishment work and when we are bombarded with
establishments we have no backpressure...

Yi,

Can you try the below (untested) patch:

I'm not at all convinced this is the way to go because it will
slow down all the connect requests, but I'm curious to know
if it'll make the issue go away.

Any other good ideas are welcome...
