I wonder if this can deadlock, when you take lock_sock so far down in the callchain.
example:
smc_connect will first take lock_sock(sk) and then mutex_lock(&smc_server_lgr_pending); (e.g. in smc_connect_ism())
wheras
smc_listen_work() will take mutex_lock(&smc_server_lgr_pending); and then lock_sock(sk) (in your __smc_conn_abort(,,false))
I am not sure whether this can be called on the same socket, but it looks suspicious to me.
All callers of smc_conn_abort() without socklock seem to originate from smc_listen_work().
That makes me think whether smc_listen_work() should do lock_sock(sk) on a higher level.
Do you have an example which function could collide with smc_listen_work()?
i.e. have you found a way to reproduce this?
Are you sure that all callers of smc_conn_free(), that are not smc_conn_abort(), do set the socklock?
It seems to me that the path of smc_conn_kill() is not covered by your solution.
Please excuse, that I am not deeply familiar with this code.
I'm just trying to ask helpful questions.
