What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/siw: Fix connection failure handling

In case immediate MPA request processing fails, the newly

created endpoint unlinks the listening endpoint and is

ready to be dropped. This special case was not handled

correctly by the code handling the later TCP socket close,

causing a NULL dereference crash in siw_cm_work_handler()

when dereferencing a NULL listener. We now also cancel

the useless MPA timeout, if immediate MPA request

processing fails.

This patch furthermore simplifies MPA processing in general:

Scheduling a useless TCP socket read in sk_data_ready() upcall

is now surpressed, if the socket is already moved out of

TCP_ESTABLISHED state.
