From: Jack Morgenstein <[email protected]> In ib_uverbs_open_qp, the sharable xrc target qp is created as a "pseudo" qp and added to a list of qp's sharing the same physical QP. This is done before the "pseudo" qp is assigned a uobject.
There is a race condition here if an async event arrives at the physical qp. If the event is handled after the pseudo qp is added to the list, but before it is assigned a uobject, the kernel crashes in ib_uverbs_qp_event_handler, due to trying to dereference a NULL uobject pointer. Note that simply checking for non-NULL is not enough, due to error flows in ib_uverbs_open_qp. If the failure is after assigning the uobject, but before the qp has fully been created, we still have a problem. Thus, in ib_uverbs_qp_event_handler, we test that the uobject is present, and also that it is live.
