NULL pointer dereferences in ib_cm_init_qp_attr() were seen by some
users. From a crash dump, I determined that we died in
cm_init_qp_rts_attr() (it's inlined, so it doesn't show up in the
traceback) on the line labeled below:
static int cm_init_qp_rts_attr(struct cm_id_private *cm_id_priv,
struct ib_qp_attr *qp_attr,
int *qp_attr_mask)
{
........
if (cm_id_priv->id.lap_state == IB_CM_LAP_UNINIT) {
.....
} else {
*qp_attr_mask = IB_QP_ALT_PATH | IB_QP_PATH_MIG_STATE;
qp_attr->alt_port_num = cm_id_priv->alt_av.port->port_num; <-die
The problem is that the rdma_cm can call ib_send_cm_mra() after a
connection has been established. The ib_cm incorrectly assumes that
the MRA is in response to a LAP (load alternate path) message, even
though no LAP message has been received. The ib_cm needs to check the
lap_state before sending an MRA if the cm_id state is established.
