This patch fixes a memory leak issue when alloc_mr is used. mr->pages and mr->npages are used only in alloc_mr path. mr->pages is allocated when alloc_mr is called or in the case of FRMR, while creating the MR. mr->npages is updated only when the MR created is used i.e. after invoking map_mr_sg verb, before data transfer. In the dereg_mr path, if mr->npages is 0, driver ends up not freeing the memory created. Removing the npages check from the dereg_mr path for kernel consumers.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
