Subject: [PATCH 5.15 046/272] net/smc: reject CHID-0 ACCEPT that matches an empty ism_dev slot

5.15-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Xiang Mei <xmei5@asu.edu>

commit 277740023def559a4a2ddc3e8e784ee37a0f16a9 upstream.

On the SMC-D client, slot 0 of ini->ism_dev[]/ini->ism_chid[] is
reserved for an SMC-Dv1 device. smc_find_ism_v2_device_clnt()
populates V2 entries starting at index 1, so when no V1 device is
selected slot 0 is left in its kzalloc()'ed state with ism_dev[0] ==
NULL and ism_chid[0] == 0.

smc_v2_determine_accepted_chid() then matches the peer's CHID against
the array starting from index 0 using the CHID alone. A malicious
peer replying to a SMC-Dv2-only proposal with d1.chid == 0 matches
the empty slot, ini->ism_selected becomes 0, and the subsequent
ism_dev[0]->lgr_lock dereference in smc_conn_create() faults at
offsetof(struct smcd_dev, lgr_lock) == 0x68:

  BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in _raw_spin_lock_bh+0x79/0xe0
  Write of size 4 at addr 0000000000000068 by task exploit/144
  Call Trace:
   _raw_spin_lock_bh

   smc_connect (net/smc/af_smc.c:1720)
   __sys_connect
   __x64_sys_connect
   do_syscall_64

Require ism_dev[i] to be non-NULL before accepting a CHID match.
