[PATCH net] net: mana: Fix use-after-free in mana_hwc_destroy_channel() by re-ordering teardown

[Dipayaan Roy]

A potential race condition exists in mana_hwc_destroy_channel() where
hwc->caller_ctx is freed before the HWC's Completion Queue (CQ) and
Event Queue (EQ) are destroyed. This allows an in-flight CQ interrupt
handler to dereference freed memory, leading to a use-after-free or
NULL pointer dereference in mana_hwc_handle_resp().

mana_smc_teardown_hwc() signals the hardware to stop but does not
synchronize against IRQ handlers already executing on other CPUs. The
IRQ synchronization only happens in mana_hwc_destroy_cq() via
mana_gd_destroy_eq() -> mana_gd_deregister_irq(). Since this runs
after kfree(hwc->caller_ctx), a concurrent mana_hwc_rx_event_handler()
can dereference freed caller_ctx (and rxq->msg_buf) in
mana_hwc_handle_resp().

Fix this by reordering teardown to reverse-of-creation order: destroy
the TX/RX work queues and CQ/EQ before freeing hwc->caller_ctx. This
ensures all in-flight interrupt handlers complete before the memory they
access is freed.

Adapter (MANA)")
