When do_task() exhausts its iteration budget (!ret), it sets the state
to TASK_STATE_IDLE to reschedule, without a secondary check on the
current task->state. This can overwrite the TASK_STATE_DRAINING state
set by a concurrent call to rxe_cleanup_task() or rxe_disable_task().
While state changes are protected by a spinlock, both rxe_cleanup_task()
and rxe_disable_task() release the lock while waiting for the task to
finish draining in the while(!is_done(task)) loop. The race occurs if
do_task() hits its iteration limit and acquires the lock in this window.
The cleanup logic may then proceed while the task incorrectly
reschedules itself, leading to a potential use-after-free.
This bug was introduced during the migration from tasklets to workqueues,
where the special handling for the draining case was lost.
Fix this by restoring the original pre-migration behavior. If the state is
TASK_STATE_DRAINING when iterations are exhausted, set cont to 1 to
force a new loop iteration. This allows the task to finish its work, so
that a subsequent iteration can reach the switch statement and correctly
transition the state to TASK_STATE_DRAINED, stopping the task as intended.

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 reStructuredText 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.
