SMC-Rv2 uses two receive-buffer layouts, selected by
smc_link_shared_v2_rxbuf() (i.e. lnk->wr_rx_sge_cnt > 1):
- shared (device max_recv_sge >= 2): each receive work request posts a
small primary SGE plus a spillover SGE that DMAs the message body into
the per-link-group lgr->wr_rx_buf_v2 (SMC_WR_BUF_V2_SIZE = 8 KiB) at
offset SMC_WR_TX_SIZE.
- non-shared (device max_recv_sge == 1): each receive work request posts
a single SGE of wr_rx_buflen == SMC_WR_BUF_V2_SIZE, so the whole
message lands in the per-WR receive buffer.
smc_llc_rx_handler() hands the received buffer to smc_llc_enqueue(),
which copies only sizeof(union smc_llc_msg) bytes into the fixed-size
qentry->msg and queues the request; the LLC request is then processed
later from the llc_event_work work item, after smc_wr_rx_process_cqes()
has already reposted (and thus recycled) the per-WR receive buffer.
For the shared layout the rkey array survives in wr_rx_buf_v2, and
smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() and smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() read it from
there. For the non-shared layout nothing preserves the message body: both
functions instead read the rkey array from the truncated qentry copy
((struct smc_llc_msg_delete_rkey_v2 *)llc, and (u8 *)add_llc +
SMC_WR_TX_SIZE), running past the end of the ~72-byte qentry allocation.
The loop bound num_rkeys comes straight off the wire and is only capped at
SMC_LLC_RKEYS_PER_MSG_V2 (255), so a peer that sends a DELETE_RKEY or
ADD_LINK message with an oversized rkey count triggers an out-of-bounds
read of up to ~1 KiB (delete_rkey) or ~4 KiB (add_link) past a kmalloc-96
object.

The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
allocated 72-byte region [ffff8880059ee700, ffff8880059ee748)
Preserve the message body for the non-shared layout as well: in
smc_llc_rx_handler() copy the bytes beyond SMC_WR_TX_SIZE into
wr_rx_buf_v2 + SMC_WR_TX_SIZE before the receive work request is reposted,
exactly mirroring the spillover SGE of the shared layout. The header
(which for a message that fits in SMC_WR_TX_SIZE contains the whole rkey
array) is not copied here; smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() now restores it from
the per-qentry copy for both layouts, so a different v2 LLC message that
reaches the shared wr_rx_buf_v2 between reception and processing cannot
clobber it. The rkey array is then read from wr_rx_buf_v2, bounded by its
SMC_WR_BUF_V2_SIZE size.
The body copy is guarded by lgr->smc_version == SMC_V2, since
wr_rx_buf_v2 is only allocated for v2 link groups; keying it off the
link-group version rather than only the wire llc_version prevents a NULL
dereference should a v2-versioned LLC message arrive on a v1 link group.
It also removes a latent use-after-free on the SMC-R server add-link path,
where the non-shared code dereferenced add_llc after its qentry had been
freed by smc_llc_flow_qentry_del().
The rkey count is still only capped at SMC_LLC_RKEYS_PER_MSG_V2; the reads
now stay within the 8 KiB buffer regardless, and validating num_rkeys
against the received message length is left as a separate hardening.
Triggering the bug requires a RoCE device that advertises
max_recv_sge == 1 (a configuration the Fixes: change added support for)
and a peer emitting an oversized rkey count. Reproduced under KASAN with
soft-RoCE (rdma_rxe) after forcing wr_rx_sge_cnt = 1.
Fixes: 27ef6a9981fe ("net/smc: support SMC-R V2 for rdma devices with max_recv_sge equals to 1")
