[PATCH 6.12 355/403] net/smc: unregister the connection before draining the rx tasklet

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bryam Vargas <redacted>

commit 36cdf5d48ca191dcd71c28cadbe0981b1d25318d upstream.

smc_conn_free() calls smc_ism_unset_conn() only while the link group is
still on its device list, and never sets conn->killed.
smc_lgr_terminate_sched() unlinks the group immediately and defers killing
its connections to a work item, so a connection freed in that window keeps
its smcd->conn[] slot with both gates in smcd_handle_irq() open, and the
device can re-arm the receive tasklet after tasklet_kill() has returned. On
the DMB-nocopy path the ghost send buffer is freed right after that drain,
so the re-armed tasklet dereferences it.

Unregister unconditionally and drain before the detach at both teardown
sites, mirroring rmb_desc, which smc_buf_unuse() releases after the drain.
Clear conn->sndbuf_desc before freeing it as well, so a reader that samples
the pointer cannot get one that is already freed.

Fixes: ae2be35cbed2 ("net/smc: {at|de}tach sndbuf to peer DMB if supported")
