[PATCH v2 0/2] RDMA/rxe: fix ADVISE_MR prefetch on non-ODP MRs

From: Norbert Szetei via B4 Relay

ADVISE_MR prefetch on a plain MR runs to_ib_umem_odp() on a struct
ib_umem, giving a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds read in
ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() (splat in patch 2).

v1 checked is_odp_mr() after lookup_mr(). Leon asked for lookup_mr() to
do the check itself, off mr->access. That only holds once mr->access
cannot disagree with the umem, so patch 1 stops the two paths that
assign mr->access after registration from touching IB_ACCESS_ON_DEMAND,
and patch 2 passes the flag to lookup_mr() in both prefetch arms.

Patch 1 adds another failure return to rxe_rereg_user_mr(), so it
depends on ae36a5b609ae ("RDMA/rxe: validate access flags before
swapping the MR's PD"), which moved the validation above the
mr->ibmr.pd swap. The series is based on for-rc.

v1 -> v2:
- patch 1 (new): reject IB_ACCESS_ON_DEMAND in rxe_rereg_user_mr() and
rxe_reg_fast_mr(), so mr->access keeps agreeing with the umem
- patch 2: use lookup_mr(..., IB_ACCESS_ON_DEMAND) instead of an
explicit is_odp_mr() check; a non-ODP MR now fails with -EINVAL from
lookup_mr() rather than -EOPNOTSUPP
- dropped Zhu Yanjun's Reviewed-by, the implementation changed
