In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:net/smc: fix illegal rmb_desc access in SMC-D connection dumpA crash was found when dumping SMC-D connections. It can be reproduced
by following steps:run nginx/wrk test:
smc_run nginx
smc_run wrk -t 16 -c 1000 -d <duration> -H 'Connection: Close' <URL>continuously dump SMC-D connections in parallel:

  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76It is possible that the connection is in process of being established
when we dump it. Assumed that the connection has been registered in a
link group by smc_conn_create() but the rmb_desc has not yet been
initialized by smc_buf_create(), thus causing the illegal access to
conn->rmb_desc. So fix it by checking before dump.
