qib_lookup_qpn() appears to leak pointer out of rcu_read_unlock()

qib_lookup_qpn() appears to leak pointer out of rcu_read_unlock()

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello!

The qib_lookup_qpn() function does RCU pointer traversals within RCU
read-side critical sections as required, but the qp pointer is returned
from this function after it does rcu_read_unlock().  One of the callers,
qib_rcv_hdrerr(), dereferences this pointer upon return.

This appears to me to be a bug.  From what I can see, the structure
pointed to by qp could be freed immediately after the rcu_read_unlock(),
which would result in a SEGV when qib_rcv_hdrerr() does its later
spin_lock(&qp->r_lock).

So what am I missing here?

							Thanx, Paul

BTW, I am considering eliminating the atomic_inc() in favor of widening the scope of the rcu lock expanse.

As long as the newly included code doesn't block, that should work fine.
(If it does block, another option is SRCU.)
