CVE-2011-0695

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770369

When processing a SIDR REQ, the ib_cm allocates a new cm_id.  The
refcount of the cm_id is initialized to 1.  However, cm_process_work
will decrement the refcount after invoking all callbacks.  The result
is that the cm_id will end up with refcount set to 0 by the end of the
sidr req handler.

If a user tries to destroy the cm_id, the destruction will proceed,
under the incorrect assumption that no other threads are referencing
the cm_id.  This can lead to a crash when the cm callback thread tries
to access the cm_id.

This problem was noticed as part of a larger investigation with kernel
crashes in the rdma_cm when running on a real time OS.

I'm a bit curious how you got these 2 patches to apply 'cause they were 
released with 2.6.35-29.51. Did you start with master instead of 
master-next ?

That's a really good question. I patched an old local repo. I got distracted
working on these and thought I'd updated my repo but had not. Thanks for
catching this and sorry to waste everyone's time.
