Daniel Vacek ac2630fd3c IB/ipoib: Fix mcast list locking
[ Upstream commit 4f973e211b3b1c6d36f7c6a19239d258856749f9 ]

Releasing the `priv->lock` while iterating the `priv->multicast_list` in
`ipoib_mcast_join_task()` opens a window for `ipoib_mcast_dev_flush()` to
remove the items while in the middle of iteration. If the mcast is removed
while the lock was dropped, the for loop spins forever resulting in a hard
lockup (as was reported on RHEL 4.18.0-372.75.1.el8_6 kernel):

    Task A (kworker/u72:2 below)       | Task B (kworker/u72:0 below)
    -----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
    ipoib_mcast_join_task(work)        | ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light(work)
      spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock)       | __ipoib_ib_dev_flush(priv, ...)
      list_for_each_entry(mcast,       | ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(dev = priv->dev)
          &priv->multicast_list, list) |
        ipoib_mcast_join(dev, mcast)   |
          spin_unlock_irq(&priv->lock) |
                                       |   spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags)
                                       |   list_for_each_entry_safe(mcast, tmcast,
                                       |                  &priv->multicast_list, list)
                                       |     list_del(&mcast->list);
                                       |     list_add_tail(&mcast->list, &remove_list)
                                       |   spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags)
          spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock)   |
                                       |   ipoib_mcast_remove_list(&remove_list)
   (Here, `mcast` is no longer on the  |     list_for_each_entry_safe(mcast, tmcast,
    `priv->multicast_list` and we keep |                            remove_list, list)
    spinning on the `remove_list` of   |  >>>  wait_for_completion(&mcast->done)
    the other thread which is blocked  |
    and the list is still valid on     |
    it's stack.)

Fix this by keeping the lock held and changing to GFP_ATOMIC to prevent
eventual sleeps.
Unfortunately we could not reproduce the lockup and confirm this fix but
based on the code review I think this fix should address such lockups.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
