The variable rdma is checked when event->event is equal to 
RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED:
  if (rdma)

This indicates that it can be NULL. If so, a null-pointer dereference will 
occur when calling complete():
  complete(&rdma->cm_done);

To fix this possible null-pointer dereference, calling complete() only 
when rdma is not NULL.

You need to explain how is it possible and blindly set if () checks.
I would say first "if (rdma)" is not needed, but don't know for sure.
