Split of the single v3 patch, in the order Jakub asked for:
1/3 frees the LLC queue entry in smc_llc_srv_add_link() only after the
last use of the pointer into it.
2/3 bounds the peer-declared rkey counts in smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys()
and smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() by the buffer they read from.
3/3 copies an oversized SMC-Rv2 LLC message into the queue entry and
declares the rkeys that fit inline, so both consumers stop
reconstructing the layout themselves.
1/3 and 2/3 are tagged for stable. 3/3 is not: it does not fix a crash on
its own, and it changes a structure layout and a static function signature.
v5 touches 2/3 only, and only its comment and changelog: they gave
the wrong reason for skipping the extension. No functional change.

smc_llc_srv_add_link() keeps add_llc pointing into the queue entry:
add_llc = &qentry->msg.add_link; smc_llc.c:1482
...
smc_llc_save_add_link_info(link_new, add_llc); smc_llc.c:1494
smc_llc_flow_qentry_del(&lgr->llc_flow_lcl); smc_llc.c:1495
...
u8 *llc_msg = smc_link_shared_v2_rxbuf(link) ?
(u8 *)lgr->wr_rx_buf_v2 : (u8 *)add_llc; smc_llc.c:1504
smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys(link, link_new, llc_msg); smc_llc.c:1506
smc_llc_flow_qentry_del() kfree()s the entry, so on a link without a shared
v2 receive buffer the pointer handed to smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() is
already freed. Before the Fixes: commit that branch always used
lgr->wr_rx_buf_v2 and add_llc was not used after the free.
Detach the entry instead of freeing it there, and free it explicitly on
both exit paths. The reject path has to detach as well, otherwise it would
be freed twice.

Reproduced on an unpatched tree over rxe, with KASAN, kasan_multi_shot and a
link forced to max_recv_sge == 1: the entry is freed and read by the same
call, and the freeing frame is smc_llc_srv_add_link() itself.

The buggy address is located 94 bytes inside of
freed 96-byte region [ffff888005219480, ffff8880052194e0)
The offset is past the 72-byte queue entry because the out-of-bounds read
fixed by the next patch is on the same line; what this patch removes is the
free at smc_llc_srv_add_link+0x9a8 happening before the read at +0xaa2.

On a link whose device has max_recv_sge == 1 there is no shared v2 receive
buffer, and smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys() takes the v2 extension from 44
bytes past the start of the queue entry's inline message:
ext = (struct smc_llc_msg_add_link_v2_ext *)(llc_msg + SMC_WR_TX_SIZE);
The entry is a 72-byte allocation and the extension starts at offset 68, so
ext->num_rkeys at offset 94 is already past it. This happens on every
SMC-Rv2 link addition, whatever the peer sends:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in smc_llc_save_add_link_rkeys+0x333/0x350
Read of size 2 at addr ffff8880056406de by task smctest/106

Allocated by task 44:

The buggy address is located 22 bytes to the right of
allocated 72-byte region [ffff888005640680, ffff8880056406c8)
Whatever that read finds then bounds the ext->rt[] loop, so a peer that
declares 255 rkeys reads much further. smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() has the
same shape for llcv2->rkey[].
Bound both loops by the buffer they read from, and skip the extension
altogether when there is no shared v2 receive buffer. The extension
does arrive on the link, but smc_llc_enqueue() copies only
sizeof(union smc_llc_msg) into the queue entry, so what that code read
past the 44 inline bytes was heap and not peer data.

v4 -> v5: corrected the reason given for skipping the extension. It does
arrive on the link; what is not there is the copy in the queue entry. No
functional change.
Measured over rxe with KASAN and max_recv_sge forced to 1, five test cells
(plain 1-rkey delete, delete declaring 255, plain ADD_LINK v2, ADD_LINK
declaring 255, and an SMC-Rv1 link group). Without this patch four of the
five report; with it none do. With kasan_multi_shot the unpatched kernel
reports 491 times in a single ADD_LINK run, the patched one not at all.

An LLC message longer than the 44-byte union smc_llc_msg arrives either
whole in the receive buffer or split into the link group's shared v2
buffer, and both consumers of the tail rebuild that layout themselves.
Copy the tail into the queue entry instead, so its length and its lifetime
are those of the message that arrived, and declare the rkeys that do fit
inline as a member of the union rather than reaching them through a cast of
a shorter type.
The bound the previous patch placed on links without a shared v2 receive
buffer is no longer needed here: the extension is read from the qentry,
whose length is the length of the message that arrived.
A DELETE_RKEY_V2 is now bounded by what arrived rather than by the buffer
it landed in: a 44-byte message declaring 255 rkeys processed 255 of them
before, and processes the 9 that fit now.

Measured over rxe with KASAN: a DELETE_RKEY_V2 carrying 12 rkeys over a link
with a shared v2 receive buffer round-trips all 12 values, the last three
coming from the copied tail; 8, 9 and 10 rkeys and a 44-byte message declaring
10 give 8, 9, 10 and 9 processed rkeys respectively. kmemleak reports nothing
over the link-addition path, and does report the queue entry when the free
added by patch 1 is removed again.

> Does this bounds check allow processing of stale memory?
It does, and 3/3 of this series stops it. This patch bounds by the size
of the buffer the message landed in; 3/3 copies the tail of the message
into the queue entry and bounds by its length instead.
The bound in this patch never fires on a link with a shared v2 receive
buffer. It works out at 507 rkeys for ADD_LINK and 2046 for
DELETE_RKEY, and the min_t() above it has already capped both at 255.
I measured a 44-byte DELETE_RKEY_V2 declaring 255 rkeys: mainline and
this patch draw the same response, and in two of the four exchanges an
rkey read past the message was live and was deleted. With 3/3 applied
the response reports 9.
It does fire on a link without that buffer, where it becomes 9. That is
the out-of-bounds read this patch fixes, and why it carries Cc: stable
while 3/3 does not.
Best regards,
Yehyeong Lee

There is an AI generated review of this patch-set available at
https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/#/patchset/20260801094208.1937951-1-yhlee%40isslab.korea.ac.kr
Of that review, I think the following warrants particular consideration.
TL;DR: to ensure complete backports, maybe add this tag to this patch,
as it has been added to patch 2/3.
Fixes: 27ef6a9981fe ("net/smc: support SMC-R V2 for rdma devices with max_recv_sge equals to 1")
The text of the AI-generated review:
Should this patch carry a Fixes: tag and Cc: stable as well? Both
predecessors in the series do, and this is the patch that changes behaviour
in two places.
First, the early return this hunk replaces:
if (!smc_link_shared_v2_rxbuf(link))
return;
On a device with max_recv_sge == 1 that means the peer's rkeys in the
ADD_LINK v2 extension are never installed into lgr->rtokens for the new
link, even though those bytes do arrive on the link. Only the
qentry->body_len bound added here reaches them.
Second, in smc_llc_rmt_delete_rkey() the shared-v2 path was bounded by the
capacity of the per-lgr buffer rather than by what the peer sent:
llcv2 = (struct smc_llc_msg_delete_rkey_v2 *)lgr->wr_rx_buf_v2;
buf_len = SMC_WR_BUF_V2_SIZE;
...
max = min_t(u32, max, (buf_len - rkey_off) / sizeof(llcv2->rkey[0]));
So a 44-byte DELETE_RKEY_V2 declaring num_rkeys = 255 walks rkey[9..254] out
of whatever an earlier oversized peer message left in lgr->wr_rx_buf_v2 and
passes each value to smc_rtoken_delete(), which can clear a valid rtoken of
an unrelated connection in the same link group.
The changelog describes both as consequences rather than as fixes:
The bound the previous patch placed on links without a shared v2
receive buffer is no longer needed here
A DELETE_RKEY_V2 is now bounded by what arrived rather than by the
buffer it landed in: a 44-byte message declaring 255 rkeys processed
255 of them before, and processes the 9 that fit now.
If a stable tree takes the first two patches of the series but not this one,
does it end up with the ADD_LINK v2 extension ignored on max_recv_sge == 1
devices and the stale-rkey deletion still present?

Instead of these two kfree, can you just 'goto out' ? out: seems to do
the free nows, and rc is 0 above.
Also, is send_req_add_link_resp always false in smc_llc_srv_add_link() ?
