Daming Li 07ad246529 net: smc: fix splice entry lifetime imbalance in smc_rx_splice 
commit 5d9686af29 upstream.

smc_rx_splice() passes pages to splice_to_pipe() before taking the
references that cover the lifetime of each splice entry. In the
VM-backed RMB path, splice_to_pipe() may drop unqueued entries through
smc_rx_spd_release(), while queued entries are released later via the
pipe buffer callback.

The old post-splice accounting also derives the number of queued VM pages
from an offset mutated while building the descriptor, and a multi-page
splice pairs one sock_hold() with multiple sock_put() calls.

Take the page and socket references for every candidate entry before
splice_to_pipe(), and drop the matching private state, page reference,
and socket reference from smc_rx_spd_release() for entries that never
get queued. This fixes a refcount imbalance that can underflow page
refcounts and trigger a use-after-free.

[ collapsed the multi-page get_page()/sock_hold() loop to a single get_page()/sock_hold() pair and dropped the trailing kfree() calls, as 5.15 lacks the multi-page pages[]/partial[]/priv[] arrays ]

README 

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.
