We found a following problem in kernel 5.10, and the same problem should
exist in mainline:

During NFS mount using 'soft' option over RoCE network, we observed kernel
crash with below trace when network issues occur (congestion/disconnect):
   nfs: server 10.10.253.211 not responding, timed out
   BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000a0
   RIP: 0010:frwr_unmap_sync+0x77/0x200 [rpcrdma]

Problem analysis:
The crash happens in frwr_unmap_sync() when accessing req->rl_registered
list, caused by either NULL pointer or accessing freed MR resources.
There's a race condition between:
T1
__ib_process_cq
  wc->wr_cqe->done (frwr_wc_localinv)
   rpcrdma_flush_disconnect
    rpcrdma_force_disconnect
     xprt_force_disconnect
      xprt_autoclose
       xprt_rdma_close
        rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect
         rpcrdma_reqs_reset
          frwr_reset
           rpcrdma_mr_pop(&req->rl_registered)
T2					
rpc_async_schedule
  rpc_release_task
   rpc_release_resources_task
    xprt_release
     xprt_rdma_free
      frwr_unmap_sync
       rpcrdma_mr_pop(&req->rl_registered)
					
This problem also exists in function rpcrdma_mrs_destroy().
