[ Upstream commit d29e89e34952a9ad02c77109c71a80043544296e ]
So far there was the possibility that we called genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO)/mutex_lock() while holding an rcu_read_lock().
This included cases like:
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock) drbd_asb_recover_1p drbd_khelper drbd_bcast_event genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock) drbd_asb_recover_1p drbd_khelper notify_helper genlmsg_new(GFP_NOIO) --> may sleep
drbd_sync_handshake (acquire the RCU lock) drbd_asb_recover_1p drbd_khelper notify_helper mutex_lock --> may sleep
While using GFP_ATOMIC whould have been possible in the first two cases, the real fix is to narrow the rcu_read_lock.
