There are many unfixed syzkaller bugs in rdma_cm, so I'm not surprised
it is still happening..

Nobody has stepped forward to work on this code, and it is not a
simple mess to understand, let alone try to fix.

Well, it is holding the (logical) lock it is releasing, so this
probably menas ctx->file changed value while this event handler is
running. :\

A quick look suggests ucma_migrate_id does that..

.. and we can quickly see the bug, we try to obtain a lock:

mutex_lock(&ctx->file->mut);

while another thread is changing that pointer under the lock we are
trying to get:

ctx->file = new_file;

So probably mutex_lock went to sleep, holding &ctx->file->mut in a
register, then the thing in the lock changed ctx->file, finally the
unlock reloaded ctx->file and got the new unlocked value, and crash.

Which just an insane design in the first place.

That is as far as I can get, trying to figure out how to rework
ctx->file to be properly ref counted, accessed and locked, is a major
task.. I don't even know right now what migrate_id is supposed to be
for :(
