IPoIB: Fix deadlock on RTNL between bcast join comp and ipoib_stop()
Taking rtnl_lock in ipoib_mcast_join_complete() causes a deadlock with ipoib_stop(). We avoid it by scheduling the piece of code that takes the lock on ipoib_workqueue instead of executing it directly. This works because we only flush the ipoib_workqueue with the RTNL not held. The deadlock happens because ipoib_stop() calls ipoib_ib_dev_down() which calls ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(), which calls ipoib_mcast_free(), which calls ipoib_mcast_leave(). The latter calls ib_sa_free_multicast(), and this waits until the multicast completion handler finishes. This handler is ipoib_mcast_join_complete(), which waits for the rtnl_lock(), which was already taken by ipoib_stop(). This bug was introduced in commit a77a57a1 ("IPoIB: Fix deadlock on RTNL in ipoib_stop()"). Signed-off-by: Yossi Etigin <yosefe@voltaire.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
