    IPoIB: Fix race in deleting ipoib_neigh entries · 49b8e744
    Jim Foraker authored
    In several places, this snippet is used when removing neigh entries:
    
    	list_del(&neigh->list);
    	ipoib_neigh_free(neigh);
    
    The list_del() removes neigh from the associated struct ipoib_path, while
    ipoib_neigh_free() removes neigh from the device's neigh entry lookup
    table.  Both of these operations are protected by the priv->lock
    spinlock.  The table however is also protected via RCU, and so naturally
    the lock is not held when doing reads.
    
    This leads to a race condition, in which a thread may successfully look
    up a neigh entry that has already been deleted from neigh->list.  Since
    the previous deletion will have marked the entry with poison, a second
    list_del() on the object will cause a panic:

    We move the list_del() into ipoib_neigh_free(), so that deletion happens
    only once, after the entry has been successfully removed from the lookup
    table.  This same behavior is already used in ipoib_del_neighs_by_gid()
    and __ipoib_reap_neigh().
