Summary

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);
