smc_llc_link_active() marks a link active before scheduling its testlink
work. The first-link confirmation paths call it without llc_conf_mutex,
allowing link-down processing to clear the link between these operations:
Connection setup Link-down worker
smc_llc_link_active()
link->state = SMC_LNK_ACTIVE
smcr_link_clear()
link->clearing = 1
smc_llc_link_clear()
cancel_delayed_work_sync()
schedule_delayed_work()
The connection reference keeps the link alive during activation, but the
newly queued work outlives that reference. Later cleanup skips clearing
an already-clearing link, leaving its timer armed when the link group is
freed. KASAN reported:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __run_timers+0x723/0x8d0
Write of size 8 at addr ffff88810f108810 by task swapper/1/0
Call Trace:
__run_timers+0x723/0x8d0
timer_expire_remote+0xd3/0x120
tmigr_handle_remote_up+0x4f4/0xab0
__walk_groups_from+0x40/0x150
tmigr_handle_remote+0x229/0x2c0
run_timer_softirq+0x1f5/0x250
Hold llc_conf_mutex around first-link activation on both sides so that
link-down processing cannot cancel the work before it is queued. Also
protect the client's initial optional add-link processing, which can
activate a second link without the lock. The other add-link paths already
hold llc_conf_mutex. This serializes every activation with link teardown
without changing the handshake sequence or error handling.
