When a post deferred to the progress thread fails, tell the target so it stops waiting for writes that will never arrive. postXfer promises the target expected_completions writes. A post that fails in drainPostQueue() never reaches the wire, so on the target the received count can never reach the promised one, checkPendingNotifications() never releases the notification, and the target hangs. ai-dynamo#1747 made checkXfer report such a failure to the local caller, but the target is still never told. - Add NIXL_LIBFABRIC_MSG_XFER_ERROR carrying the number of its writes that did complete. The transfer is identified by the xfer_id already present in the immediate data, so only the payload is new. - checkXfer sends the message once per transfer, from the existing get_error_status() branch added by ai-dynamo#1747, so it goes out only after every request of the batch has resolved. postXfer still returns IN_PROG: the batch was accepted and mostly posted, so an asynchronous failure must not turn the submit call into an error. - On the target, handleXferError() lowers expected_completions to the count the initiator reported and leaves the ordinary received >= expected test to release the notification, so the entry stays alive until the last write that will ever arrive has arrived.

What?
When a post deferred to the progress thread fails, tell the target so it stops waiting for writes that will never arrive, and fail the transfer instead of reporting success.
Why?
postXferpromises the targetexpected_completionswrites. A post that fails indrainPostQueue()never reaches the wire, so on the target the received count can never reach the promised one,checkPendingNotifications()never releases the notification, and the target hangs. #1747 madecheckXferreport such a failure to the local caller, but the target is still never told.How?
NIXL_LIBFABRIC_MSG_XFER_ERRORcarrying the status the transfer failed with. The transfer is identified by thexfer_idalready present in the immediate data, so the wire format is unchanged.checkXfersends the message once per transfer, from the existingget_error_status()branch added by Fix libfabric transfer request lifecycle bugs #1747, so it goes out only after every request of the batch has resolved.postXferstill returnsIN_PROG: the batch was accepted and mostly posted, so an asynchronous failure must not turn the submit call into an error.handleXferError()marks the pending notification failed, releasing it with whatever arrived and logging the shortfall.Summary by CodeRabbit
