Subject: [RFC PATCH net 0/2] net/smc: Fix for race in smc link group termination
Date: Tue, 28 Dec 2021 17:20:38 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1640683240-62472-1-git-send-email-guwen@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

We encountered some crashes recently and they are caused by the
race between the access and free of link/link group in smc link
group termination. The crashes can be reproduced in frequent
abnormal link group termination, like set RNICs up/down.

This set of patches tries to fix this by extending the life cycle
of link/link group to ensure that they won't be referred to after
cleared or freed.

Best wishes,
Wen Gu
