Subject: [PATCH] xprtrdma: Store RDMA credits in unsigned variables

Dan Carpenter's static checker pointed out:

net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/rpc_rdma.c:879 rpcrdma_reply_handler()
warn: can 'credits' be negative?

"credits" is defined as an int. The credits value comes from the
server as a 32-bit unsigned integer.

A malicious or broken server can plant a large unsigned integer in
that field which would result in an underflow in the following
logic, potentially triggering a deadlock of the mount point by
blocking the client from issuing more RPC requests.

net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/rpc_rdma.c:

876 credits = be32_to_cpu(headerp->rm_credit);
877 if (credits == 0)
878 credits = 1; /* don't deadlock */
879 else if (credits > r_xprt->rx_buf.rb_max_requests)
880 credits = r_xprt->rx_buf.rb_max_requests;
881
882 cwnd = xprt->cwnd;
883 xprt->cwnd = credits << RPC_CWNDSHIFT;
884 if (xprt->cwnd > cwnd)
885 xprt_release_rqst_cong(rqst->rq_task);

Anna, do you want me to take this one directly, or are you preparing a
pull request?
