An examination of the code shows that a race exists in the request handlers. When a new connection request is received, the rdma_cm allocates a new connection identifier. This identifier has a single reference count on it. If a user calls rdma_destroy_id() from another thread after receiving a callback, rdma_destroy_id will proceed to destroy the id and free the associated memory. However, the request handlers may still be in the process of running. When control returns to the request handlers, they can attempt to access the newly created identifiers. Fix this by holding a reference on the newly created rdma_cm_id until the request handler is through accessing it. Signed-off-by: Sean Hefty Acked-by: Doug Ledford Cc: Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier 8¿
