IPoIB: fix mcast_dev_flush/mcast_restart_task race
Our mcast_dev_flush routine and our mcast_restart_task can race
against each other. In particular, they both hold the priv->lock
while manipulating the rbtree and while removing mcast entries from
the multicast_list and while adding entries to the remove_list, but
they also both drop their locks prior to doing the actual removes.
The mcast_dev_flush routine is run entirely under the rtnl lock and so
has at least some locking. The actual race condition is like this:
Thread 1 Thread 2
ifconfig ib0 up
start multicast join for broadcast
multicast join completes for broadcast
start to add more multicast joins
call mcast_restart_task to add new entries
ifconfig ib0 down
mcast_dev_flush
mcast_leave(mcast A)
mcast_leave(mcast A)
As mcast_leave calls ib_sa_multicast_leave, and as member in
core/multicast.c is ref counted, we run into an unbalanced refcount
issue. To avoid stomping on each others removes, take the rtnl lock
specifically when we are deleting the entries from the remove list.
