When the following tests last for several hours, the problem will occur.
Server:
rds-stress -r 1.1.1.16 -D 1M
Client:
rds-stress -r 1.1.1.14 -s 1.1.1.16 -D 1M -T 30
The following will occur.

>From vmcore, we can find that clean_list is NULL.
>From the source code, rds_mr_flushd calls rds_ib_mr_pool_flush_worker.
Then rds_ib_mr_pool_flush_worker calls
"
rds_ib_flush_mr_pool(pool, 0, NULL);
"
Then in function
"
int rds_ib_flush_mr_pool(struct rds_ib_mr_pool *pool,
int free_all, struct rds_ib_mr **ibmr_ret)
"
ibmr_ret is NULL.
In the source code,
"
...
list_to_llist_nodes(pool, &unmap_list, &clean_nodes, &clean_tail);
if (ibmr_ret)
*ibmr_ret = llist_entry(clean_nodes, struct rds_ib_mr, llnode);
/* more than one entry in llist nodes */
if (clean_nodes->next)
llist_add_batch(clean_nodes->next, clean_tail, &pool->clean_list);
...
"
When ibmr_ret is NULL, llist_entry is not executed. clean_nodes->next
instead of clean_nodes is added in clean_list.
So clean_nodes is discarded. It can not be used again.
The workqueue is executed periodically. So more and more clean_nodes are
discarded. Finally the clean_list is NULL.
Then this problem will occur.
