A crash occurs when smc_cdc_tx_handler() tries to access smc_sock
but smc_release() has already freed it.

Though smc_cdc_tx_handler() checked the existence of smc connection,
smc_release() may have already dismissed and released the smc socket
before smc_cdc_tx_handler() further visits it.

bh_lock_sock(&smc->sk) (panic) |

To make sure we won't receive any CDC messages after we free the
smc_sock, add a refcount on the smc_connection for inflight CDC
message(posted to the QP but haven't received related CQE), and
don't release the smc_connection until all the inflight CDC messages
haven been done, for both success or failed ones.

Using refcount on CDC messages brings another problem: when the link
is going to be destroyed, smcr_link_clear() will reset the QP, which
then remove all the pending CQEs related to the QP in the CQ. To make
sure all the CQEs will always come back so the refcount on the
smc_connection can always reach 0, smc_ib_modify_qp_reset() was replaced
by smc_ib_modify_qp_error().
And remove the timeout in smc_wr_tx_wait_no_pending_sends() since we
need to wait for all pending WQEs done, or we may encounter use-after-
free when handling CQEs.

For IB device removal routine, we need to wait for all the QPs on that
device been destroyed before we can destroy CQs on the device, or
the refcount on smc_connection won't reach 0 and smc_sock cannot be
released.

I am not sure about what happened here. 
Your patch removes the whole dismisser concept that was introduced to
solve exactly the problem you describe. And you implemented a different approach.

In theory, when smc_cdc_tx_handler() is called but the connection is already
freed than the connection should have gone through smc_cdc_tx_dismiss_slots(),
called by smc_conn_kill() or smc_conn_free(). If that happened there would be no
access to an already freed address in smc_cdc_tx_handler().

Can you explain why the code reached smc_cdc_tx_handler() with cdcpend->conn
pointing to a connection that is already freed? I think if there is a bug it should
be fixed instead of replacing the code by a new construct.

Thoughts?

Yes, at first we do try to fix this on the original path, but finally failed.
that's why we turned into this way.

This bug can be reproduced in our environment pretty fast running the
following test:

server:
  smc_run nginx
client:
  while true; do smc_run wrk -c 1000 -t 4 -d 20 http://smc-server; done

The reason is smc_cdc_tx_handler() checks whether cdcpend->conn == NULL
or not, and will access to the connection if it's not NULL.
But for short TCP flows(transfered to SMC flow), it is likely to close()
the connection very soon. Since smc_cdc_tx_handler() is running in the
soft IRQ context, and close(2) is running in the process context.
There is a chance of race as describe below:

    smc_cdc_tx_handler()           |smc_release()
    if (!conn)                     |
                                   |
                                   |smc_cdc_tx_dismiss_slots()
                                   |      smc_cdc_tx_dismisser()
                                   |
                                   |sock_put(&smc->sk) <- last sock_put,
                                   |                      smc_sock freed
    bh_lock_sock(&smc->sk) (panic) |

If the check at the left passed, and then the application closed the
smc_socket and dismissed the cdcpend with smc_connection.
smc_cdc_tx_handler() still think the smc_sock is alive but actually
it's already released, and further bh_lock_sock(&smc->sk) will cause
the kernel panic.

As long as the check in smc_cdc_tx_handler() is not synchronized with
the smc_release(), this is inevitable. And unfortunately, I haven't
found a good way to synchronized them with the dismisser.

So my final solution is to remove the dissmiser and introduce the
refcount for tx cdc messages to protect the visit from
smc_cdc_tx_handler() from smc_release().
With the refcount, we can make sure the smc_conn_free() will wait for
all pending tx cdc messages done by the underlying RDMA device and
smc_cdc_tx_handler() is always safe to visit the smc_sock.


With this patchset, I run the wrk/nginx test cases for 2 days without
any panic(No link down/up is performed) any more.
