Description

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:

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);
