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 will wait for mcast completion for ever, and will
not release the rtnl_lock. As a result panic occurs with the
following trace:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
