No reference is held across the lock release.\n\nThe only reference pinning the socket while the connection is\ndiscoverable in the link group is taken in smc_lgr_register_conn()\n(sock_hold) and dropped in __smc_lgr_unregister_conn() (sock_put), both\nunder conns_lock. Once the handler drops conns_lock, a concurrent\nclose() -> smc_release() -> smc_conn_free() -> smc_lgr_unregister_conn()\ncan drop that reference and free the smc_sock, so the handler's later\nsock_hold() runs on freed memory:\n\n WARNING: lib/refcount.c:25 at refcount_warn_saturate\n Workqueue: rxe_wq do_work\n refcount_warn_saturate (lib/refcount.c:25)\n smc_cdc_msg_recv (net/smc/smc_cdc.c:430)\n smc_cdc_rx_handler (net/smc/smc_cdc.c:502)\n smc_wr_rx_tasklet_fn (net/smc/smc_wr.c:445)\n tasklet_action_common (kernel/softirq.c:938)\n handle_softirqs (kernel/softirq.c:622)\n Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set\n\nOnly SMC-R is affected.
