From: Feras Daoud ferasda@mellanox.com
[ Upstream commit 3e31a490e01a6e67cbe9f6e1df2f3ff0fbf48972 ]
Before calling ipoib_stop, rtnl_lock should be taken, then the flow clears the IPOIB_FLAG_ADMIN_UP and IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flags, and waits for mcast completion if IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY is set.
On the other hand, the flow of multicast join task initializes a mcast completion, sets the IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY and calls ipoib_mcast_join. If IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flag is not set, this call returns EINVAL without setting the mcast completion and leads to a deadlock.
ipoib_stop | | | clear_bit(IPOIB_FLAG_ADMIN_UP) | | | Context Switch | | ipoib_mcast_join_task | | | spin_lock_irq(lock) | | | init_completion(mcast) | | | set_bit(IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY) | | | Context Switch | | clear_bit(IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP) | | | spin_lock_irqsave(lock) | | | Context Switch | | ipoib_mcast_join | return (-EINVAL) | | | spin_unlock_irq(lock) | | | Context Switch | | ipoib_mcast_dev_flush | wait_for_completion(mcast) |
ipoib_stop will wait for mcast completion for ever, and will not release the rtnl_lock. As a result panic occurs with the following trace:
