Subject: [RFC PATCH net v2 0/2] net/smc: Fix for race in smc link group termination
Date:   Tue, 28 Dec 2021 23:13:50 +0800
Message-Id: <1640704432-76825-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com>
Precedence: bulk

We encountered some crashes recently and they are caused by the
race between the access and free of link/link group in smc link
group termination. The crashes can be reproduced in frequent
abnormal link group termination, like set RNICs up/down.

This set of patches tries to fix this by extending the life cycle
of link/link group to ensure that they won't be referred to after
cleared or freed.

v1->v2
- Declare __smcr_link_clear() as 'static'

Best wishes,
Wen Gu
