rds_tcp_set_callbacks() links a new rds_tcp_connection onto
rds_tcp_tc_list under rds_tcp_tc_list_lock. It releases the
lock, then assigns tc->t_sock = sock outside the lock.
rds_tcp_tc_info() and rds6_tcp_tc_info() walk rds_tcp_tc_list
under the same lock. Both dereference tc->t_sock->sk without
a NULL check.
A reader can acquire rds_tcp_tc_list_lock between the writer's
spin_unlock and the t_sock store. It then sees a list entry
whose t_sock is NULL. The dereference of tc->t_sock->sk is a
NULL access.
Move tc->t_sock = sock inside rds_tcp_tc_list_lock, before
list_add_tail. A reader holding the lock then observes the
linkage and the t_sock store together.
The restore path is safe. rds_tcp_restore_callbacks() does
list_del_init inside the lock. The matching tc->t_sock = NULL
after unlink is harmless to readers holding the lock.
