Chuck Lever 451d26e151 xprtrdma: Pass only the list of registered MRs to ro_unmap_sync
There are rare cases where an rpcrdma_req can be re-used (via
rpcrdma_buffer_put) while the RPC reply handler is still running.
This is due to a signal firing at just the wrong instant.

Since commit 9d6b04097882 ("xprtrdma: Place registered MWs on a
per-req list"), rpcrdma_mws are self-contained; ie., they fully
describe an MR and scatterlist, and no part of that information is
stored in struct rpcrdma_req.

As part of closing the above race window, pass only the req's list
of registered MRs to ro_unmap_sync, rather than the rpcrdma_req
itself.

Some extra transport header sanity checking is removed. Since the
client depends on its own recollection of what memory had been
registered, there doesn't seem to be a way to abuse this change.

And, the check was not terribly effective. If the client had sent
Read chunks, the "list_empty" test is negative in both of the
removed cases, which are actually looking for Write or Reply
chunks.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
