Bob Pearson b00683422f RDMA/rxe: Fix ref count error in check_rkey()
There is a reference count error in error path code and a potential race
in check_rkey() in rxe_resp.c. When looking up the rkey for a memory
window the reference to the mw from rxe_lookup_mw() is dropped before a
reference is taken on the mr referenced by the mw. If the mr is destroyed
immediately after the call to rxe_put(mw) the mr pointer is unprotected
and may end up pointing at freed memory. The rxe_get(mr) call should take
place before the rxe_put(mw) call.

All errors in check_rkey() call rxe_put(mw) if mw is not NULL but it was
already called after the above. The mw pointer should be set to NULL after
the rxe_put(mw) call to prevent this from happening.

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.
