Subject: [PATCH] RDMA/siw: Clear association under lock if siw_qp_modify fails in siw_accept
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 21:09:54 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825130954.27327-1-guoqing.jiang@linux.dev> (raw)

We need to clear qp and cep before release state_lock as siw_qp_llp_close
and siw_qp_modify->siw_qp_llp_close did.

Otherwise if siw_qp_modify() fails in siw_accept(), the QP's state_lock
is released before the error path cleanup. A concurrent ibv_modify_qp()
transitioning the QP to ERROR can race in this window:

  siw_accept()                       ibv_modify_qp(ERROR)
  ----------------------             ----------------------
  siw_qp_modify() fails
  up_write(&qp->state_lock)
                                     down_write(&qp->state_lock)
                                     nextstate_from_idle():
				     if (qp->cep)
                                       siw_cep_put(qp->cep) <- frees cep
                                       qp->cep = NULL
  goto error
    cep->qp = NULL                   <- UAF

Clear qp->cep and cep->qp, and drop the association reference taken by
siw_cep_get(), all under the write lock held from the initial
down_write(&qp->state_lock). Thread B therefore sees qp->cep == NULL,
skips its own put, and cannot free the cep before siw_accept() is done
with it.
