A narrow window for race condition still exist between multicast join thread and *dev_flush workers. A kernel crash caused by prolong erratic link state changes was observed (most likely a faulty cabling): [167275.656270] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000020 [167275.665973] IP: [<ffffffffa05f8f2e>] ipoib_mcast_join+0xae/0x1d0 [ib_ipoib] [167275.674443] PGD 0 [167275.677373] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

Signed-off-by: Alex Estrin <alex.estrin@intel.com> Changes from v4: - as suggested by Doug Ledford, optimized spinlock usage, i.e. ipoib_mcast_join() is called with lock held. Changes from v3: - sync with priv->lock before flag check. Chages from v2: - Move check for OPER_UP flag state to mcast_join() to ensure no event worker is in progress. - minor style fixes. Changes from v1: - No need to lock again if error detected. Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford <dledford@redhat.com> |
