[PATCH 6.12.y 1/2] svcrdma: Release transport resources synchronously

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

[ Upstream commit bf94dea7fd4e6708d1a784be23db65eff84d82f1 ]

NFSD has always supported added network listeners. The new netlink
protocol now enables the removal of listeners.

Olga noticed that if an RDMA listener is removed and immediately
re-added, the deferred __svc_rdma_free() function might not have
run yet, so some or all of the old listener's RDMA resources
linger, which prevents a new listener on the same address from
being created.

Also, svc_xprt_free() does a module_put() just after calling
->xpo_free(). That means if there is deferred work going on, the
module could be unloaded before that work is even started,
resulting in a UAF.

Neil asks:
> What particular part of __svc_rdma_free() needs to run in order for a

> Can that bit be run directory from svc_rdma_free() rather than be
> delayed?

The reasons I can recall are:

 - Some of the transport tear-down work can sleep
 - Releasing a cm_id is tricky and can deadlock

We might be able to mitigate the second issue with judicious
application of transport reference counting.
