-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit 29963437a48475036353b95ab142bf199adb909e upstream.

When processing a SIDR REQ, the ib_cm allocates a new cm_id. The
refcount of the cm_id is initialized to 1. However, cm_process_work
will decrement the refcount after invoking all callbacks. The result
is that the cm_id will end up with refcount set to 0 by the end of the
sidr req handler.

If a user tries to destroy the cm_id, the destruction will proceed,
under the incorrect assumption that no other threads are referencing
the cm_id. This can lead to a crash when the cm callback thread tries
to access the cm_id.

This problem was noticed as part of a larger investigation with kernel
crashes in the rdma_cm when running on a real time OS.
