You missed this call:

@@ -1571,18 +1547,6 @@ static uint64_t qemu_rdma_poll(RDMAContext *rdma, struct 
ibv_cq *cq,
         if (rdma->nb_sent > 0) {

         }

-        if (!rdma->pin_all) {

-#ifdef RDMA_UNREGISTRATION_EXAMPLE
-            qemu_rdma_signal_unregister(rdma, index, chunk, wc.wr_id);
-#endif
-        }

But as RDMA_UNREGISTRATION_EXAMPLE has never been set, I am sending a
separate patch to remove it.

Later, Juan.
