[PATCH net 0/3] net/smc: Fixes for race in smc link group termination

From: Wen Gu
Date: Mon Jan 10 2022 - 04:27:05 EST


We encountered some crashes recently and they are caused by the
race between the access and free of link/link group in abnormal
smc link group termination. The crashes can be reproduced in
frequent abnormal link group termination, like setting RNICs up/down.

This set of patches tries to fix this by extending the life cycle
of link/link group to ensure that they won't be referred to after
cleared or freed.

Wen Gu (3):
net/smc: Resolve the race between link group access and termination
net/smc: Introduce a new conn->lgr validity check helper
net/smc: Resolve the race between SMC-R link access and clear
