[ Upstream commit 2ae8e7afbc ]
Three small ownership-state cleanups land the transport in a
state that lets future reviewers reason about each pointer
locally rather than tracing the whole reply path:
rpcrdma_rep_put() clears rep->rr_rqst before the rep enters
rb_free_reps so that no rep on the free list still carries a
stale rqst pointer. rpcrdma_reply_handler() and
rpcrdma_unpin_rqst() are the only sites that set rr_rqst;
rpcrdma_reply_handler() hands the rep through
rpcrdma_rep_put(), and rpcrdma_unpin_rqst() NULLs rr_rqst
directly because its error path abandons the rep for
teardown cleanup rather than returning it to rb_free_reps.
rpcrdma_reply_put() NULLs req->rl_reply before calling
rpcrdma_rep_put(). The previous order placed the rep on
rb_free_reps while req->rl_reply still pointed at it; the
window was harmless because xprt_rdma_free_slot() holds the
req exclusively across the pair, but closing it makes the
invariant 'rep on rb_free_reps implies no req references it'
strictly checkable.
rpcrdma_sendctx_unmap() and rpcrdma_sendctx_cancel() clear
req->rl_sendctx after dropping the sendctx pointer in the
sendctx ring. Without this, req->rl_sendctx survives across
Send completion and points at a sendctx that may already have
been reassigned by rpcrdma_sendctx_get_locked() to a different
req. No caller dereferences the stale pointer today --
rpcrdma_prepare_send_sges() overwrites it before the next
Send -- but a NULL is a more honest representation of 'the
Send is no longer outstanding' and lets the assertion patch
that follows trip on any future regression.

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.
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.
