What it is

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

smb: client: let smbd_destroy() call disable_work_sync(&info->post_send_credits_work)

In smbd_destroy() we may destroy the memory so we better

wait until post_send_credits_work is no longer pending

and will never be started again.

I actually just hit the case using rxe:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 138 at drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_verbs.c:1032 rxe_post_recv+0x1ee/0x480 [rdma_rxe]

...

It means rxe_post_recv was called after rdma_destroy_qp().

This happened because put_receive_buffer() was triggered

by ib_drain_qp() and called:

queue_work(info->workqueue, &info->post_send_credits_work);
