[PATCH] RDMA/rxe: Zero out index member of struct rxe_queue

STALE1856d LANDED

From: Xiao Yang <yangx.jy@fujitsu.com>
Date: 2021-08-20 10:42:59
Subsystem: infiniband subsystem, soft-roce driver (rxe), the rest · Maintainers: Jason Gunthorpe, Leon Romanovsky, Zhu Yanjun, Linus Torvalds

Landed in mainline as cc4f596cf85e on 2021-08-20.

1) New index member of struct rxe_queue is introduced but not zeroed
   so the initial value of index may be random.
2) Current index is not masked off to index_mask.
In such case, producer_addr() and consumer_addr() will get an invalid
address by the random index and then accessing the invalid address
triggers the following panic:
"BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff9ae2c07a1414"

Fix the issue by using kzalloc() to zero out index member.

Fixes: 5bcf5a59c41e ("RDMA/rxe: Protext kernel index from user space")
