The Oops below [1], is quite rare, and occurs after awhile when kernel
code repeatedly tries to resolve addresses. According to my analysis the
work item is executed twice, and in the second time a NULL value of
`req->callback` triggers this Oops.
After many run iterations, I did managed to reproduce this issue once
with an isolated sample kernel code I posted at this address:
https://github.com/kernelim/ibaddr-null-deref-repro
The sample code works similarly to the client code in the rpcrdma kernel
module.
Is it possible that once a work item is executing, the netevent-based
side call to requeue it in `set_timeout`, puts it on another CPU while
it is still running? Otherwise it is hard to explain what I'm seeing.
My sample code also attempts to inject a notifier NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE
event to trigger this, but it did not increase the frequency of
reproduction.
I'm experimenting with a fix [2] but I'm not sure it would solve this
issue yet. I'm hoping for more suggestions and insight.
Thanks
