rds_ib_recv_refill() is a function that refills an IB receive
queue. It can be called from both the CQE handler (tasklet) and a
worker thread.

Just after the call to ib_post_recv(), a debug message is printed with
rdsdebug():

            ret = ib_post_recv(ic->i_cm_id->qp, &recv->r_wr, &failed_wr);
            rdsdebug("recv %p ibinc %p page %p addr %lu ret %d\n", recv,
                     recv->r_ibinc, sg_page(&recv->r_frag->f_sg),
                     (long) ib_sg_dma_address(
                            ic->i_cm_id->device,
                            &recv->r_frag->f_sg),
                    ret);

Now consider an invocation of rds_ib_recv_refill() from the worker
thread, which is preemptible. Further, assume that the worker thread
is preempted between the ib_post_recv() and rdsdebug() statements.

Then, if the preemption is due to a receive CQE event, the
rds_ib_recv_cqe_handler() will be invoked. This function processes
receive completions, including freeing up data structures, such as the
recv->r_frag.

In this scenario, rds_ib_recv_cqe_handler() will process the receive
WR posted above. That implies, that the recv->r_frag has been freed
before the above rdsdebug() statement has been executed. When it is
later executed, we will have a NULL pointer dereference:

This bug was provoked by compiling rds out-of-tree with
EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DRDS_DEBUG -DDEBUG" and inserting an artificial delay
between the rdsdebug() and ib_ib_port_recv() statements:

   	       /* XXX when can this fail? */
	       ret = ib_post_recv(ic->i_cm_id->qp, &recv->r_wr, &failed_wr);
+		if (can_wait)
+			usleep_range(1000, 5000);
	       rdsdebug("recv %p ibinc %p page %p addr %lu ret %d\n", recv,
			recv->r_ibinc, sg_page(&recv->r_frag->f_sg),
			(long) ib_sg_dma_address(

The fix is simply to move the rdsdebug() statement up before the
ib_post_recv() and remove the printing of ret, which is taken care of
anyway by the non-debug code.
