This inconsistent locking\ncreates a race condition:\n\n- recv_done() running in softirq completion context sets\n rdma->state = P9_RDMA_FLUSHING without acquiring req_lock\n\n- p9_cm_event_handler() modifies rdma->state at multiple points\n (ADDR_RESOLVED, ROUTE_RESOLVED, ESTABLISHED, CLOSED) without\n req_lock\n\n- rdma_request() uses spin_lock_irqsave(&rdma->req_lock, flags) to\n protect the read-modify-write of rdma->state\n\nThe race can cause lost state transitions: recv_done() or the CM\nevent handler could set state to FLUSHING/CLOSED while rdma_request()\nis concurrently checking or modifying state under the lock, leading to\nthe FLUSHING transition being silently overwritten by CLOSING. This\ncorrupts the connection state machine and can cause use-after-free on\nRDMA request objects during teardown.\n\nFix by adding req_lock protection to all rdma->state modifications in\nrecv_done() and p9_cm_event_handler(), matching the pattern already\nused in rdma_request(). Use spin_lock_irqsave/spin_unlock_irqrestore\nin the CM event handler since it can race with recv_done() which runs\nin softirq context.\n\nTested with a kernel module that races two threads (simulating\nrdma_request and recv_done/CM handler) on rdma->state with proper\nlocking: 5.5M+ FLUSHING writes over 27M iterations with 0 lost\ntransitions.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-08-15T05:57:26.281+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-16T18:55:26.515+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
