There can be a race between the waiters for a tx work request buffer and the link down processing that finally clears the link. Although all waiters are woken up before the link is cleared there might be waiters which did not yet get back control and are still waiting. This results in an access to a cleared wait queue head. Fix this by introducing atomic reference counting around the wait calls, and wait with the link clear processing until all waiters have finished. Move the work request layer related calls into smc_wr.c and set the link state to INACTIVE before calling smcr_link_clear() in smc_llc_srv_add_link().

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.
