CVE-2011-0695
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770369
When processing a SIDR REQ, the ib_cm allocates a new cm_id. The
refcount of the cm_id is initialized to 1. However, cm_process_work
will decrement the refcount after invoking all callbacks. The result
is that the cm_id will end up with refcount set to 0 by the end of the
sidr req handler.
If a user tries to destroy the cm_id, the destruction will proceed,
under the incorrect assumption that no other threads are referencing
the cm_id. This can lead to a crash when the cm callback thread tries
to access the cm_id.
This problem was noticed as part of a larger investigation with kernel
crashes in the rdma_cm when running on a real time OS.
