Currently the rdma_rxe driver has a security weakness due to giving objects which are partially initialized indices allowing external actors to gain access to them by sending packets which refer to their index (e.g. qpn, rkey, etc) causing unpredictable results. This patch adds a new API rxe_finalize(obj) which enables looking up pool objects from indices using rxe_pool_get_index() for AH, QP, MR, and MW. They are added in create verbs only after the objects are fully initialized. It also adds wait for completion to destroy/dealloc verbs to assure that all references have been dropped before returning to rdma_core by implementing a new rxe_pool API rxe_cleanup() which drops a reference to the object and then waits for all other references to be dropped. When the last reference is dropped the object is completed by kref. After that it cleans up the object and if locally allocated frees the memory. In the special case of address handle objects the delay is implemented separately if the destroy_ah call is not sleepable. Combined with deferring cleanup code to type specific cleanup routines this allows all pending activity referring to objects to complete before returning to rdma_core.

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.
