In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/smc: Fix possible access to freed memory in link clear

After modifying the QP to the Error state, all RX WR would be completed
with WC in IB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR status. Current implementation does not
wait for it is done, but destroy the QP and free the link group directly.
So there is a risk that accessing the freed memory in tasklet context.

Here is a crash example:
