commit 6883b680e703c6b2efddb4e7a8d891ce1803d06b upstream.
The commit 59c68ac31e15 ("iw_cm: free cm_id resources on the last deref") simplified cm_id resource management by freeing cm_id once all references to the cm_id were removed. The references are removed either upon completion of iw_cm event handlers or when the application destroys the cm_id. This commit introduced the use-after-free condition where cm_id_private object could still be in use by event handler works during the destruction of cm_id. The commit aee2424246f9 ("RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use-after-free related to destroying CM IDs") addressed this use-after- free by flushing all pending works at the cm_id destruction.
However, still another use-after-free possibility remained. It happens with the work objects allocated for each cm_id_priv within alloc_work_entries() during cm_id creation, and subsequently freed in dealloc_work_entries() once all references to the cm_id are removed. If the cm_id's last reference is decremented in the event handler work, the work object for the work itself gets removed, and causes the use- after-free BUG below:

This BUG is reproducible by repeating the blktests test case nvme/061 for the rdma transport and the siw driver.
To avoid the use-after-free of cm_id_private work objects, ensure that the last reference to the cm_id is decremented not in the event handler works, but in the cm_id destruction context. For that purpose, move iwcm_deref_id() call from destroy_cm_id() to the callers of destroy_cm_id(). In iw_destroy_cm_id(), call iwcm_deref_id() after flushing the pending works.
During the fix work, I noticed that iw_destroy_cm_id() is called from cm_work_handler() and process_event() context. However, the comment of iw_destroy_cm_id() notes that the function "cannot be called by the event thread". Drop the false comment.
