Currently add_modify_gid() for IB link layer has followong issue
in cache update path.
When GID update event occurs, core releases reference to the GID
table without updating its state and/or entry pointer.
CPU-0 CPU-1
------ -----
ib_cache_update() IPoIB ULP
add_modify_gid() [..]
put_gid_entry()
refcnt = 0, but
state = valid,
entry is valid.
(work item is not yet executed).
ipoib_create_ah()
rdma_create_ah()
rdma_get_gid_attr() <--
Tries to acquire gid_attr
which has refcnt = 0.
This is incorrect.
GID entry state and entry pointer is provides the accurate GID enty
state. Such fields must be updated with rwlock to protect against
readers and, such fields must be in sane state before refcount can drop
to zero. Otherwise above race condition can happen leading to
use-after-free situation.
Following backtrace has been observed when cache update for an IB port
is triggered while IPoIB ULP is creating an AH.
Therefore, when updating GID entry, first mark a valid entry as invalid
through state and set the barrier so that no callers can acquired
the GID entry, followed by release reference to it.
refcount_t: increment on 0; use-after-free.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
