In the context of FRMR (ib_frmr.c):
Memory regions make it onto the "clean_list" via "rds_ib_flush_mr_pool",
after the memory region has been posted for invalidation via
"rds_ib_post_inv".
At that point in time, "fr_state" may still be in state "FRMR_IS_INUSE",
since the only place where "fr_state" transitions to "FRMR_IS_FREE"
is in "rds_ib_mr_cqe_handler", which is triggered by a tasklet.
So in case we notice that "fr_state != FRMR_IS_FREE" (see below),
we wait for "fr_inv_done" to trigger with a maximum of 10msec.
Then we check again, and only put the memory region onto the drop_list
(via "rds_ib_free_frmr") in case the situation remains unchanged.
This avoids the problem of memory-regions bouncing between "clean_list"
and "drop_list" before they even have a chance to be properly invalidated.
