Subject: IPoIB: Fix deadlock on RTNL in ipoib_stop()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a77a57a1a22afc31891d95879fe3cf2ab03838b0;p=linux-beck.git

IPoIB: Fix deadlock on RTNL in ipoib_stop()

Commit c8c2afe3 ("IPoIB: Use rtnl lock/unlock when changing device
flags") added a call to rtnl_lock() in ipoib_mcast_join_task(), which
is run from the ipoib_workqueue.  However, ipoib_stop() (which is run
inside rtnl_lock()) flushes this workqueue, which leads to a deadlock
if the join task is pending.

Fix this by simply not flushing the workqueue from ipoib_stop().  It
turns out that we really don't care about workqueue tasks running
during or after ipoib_stop(), as long as we make sure to flush the
workqueue before unregistering a netdev.

This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1114>.
