commit 344bacca8cd811809fc33a249f2738ab757d327f upstream.

This fix solves a race between light flush and on the fly joins.
Light flush doesn't set the device to down and unset IPOIB_OPER_UP
flag, this means that if while flushing we have a MC join in progress
and the QP was attached to BC MGID we can have a mismatches when
re-attaching a QP to the BC MGID.

The light flush would set the broadcast group to NULL causing an on
the fly join to rejoin and reattach to the BC MCG as well as adding
the BC MGID to the multicast list. The flush process would later on
remove the BC MGID and detach it from the QP. On the next flush
the BC MGID is present in the multicast list but not found when trying
to detach it because of the previous double attach and single detach.

<title>IB/ipoib: Fix memory corruption in ipoib cm mode connect flow</title>

commit 546481c2816ea3c061ee9d5658eb48070f69212e upstream.

When a new CM connection is being requested, ipoib driver copies data
from the path pointer in the CM/tx object, the path object might be
invalid at the point and memory corruption will happened later when now
the CM driver will try using that data.

The next scenario demonstrates it:
	neigh_add_path --&gt; ipoib_cm_create_tx --&gt;
	queue_work (pointer to path is in the cm/tx struct)
	#while the work is still in the queue,
	#the port goes down and causes the ipoib_flush_paths:
	ipoib_flush_paths --&gt; path_free --&gt; kfree(path)
	#at this point the work scheduled starts.
	ipoib_cm_tx_start --&gt; copy from the (invalid)path pointer:
	(memcpy(&amp;pathrec, &amp;p-&gt;path-&gt;pathrec, sizeof pathrec);)
	 -&gt; memory corruption.

To fix that the driver now starts the CM/tx connection only if that
specific path exists in the general paths database.
This check is protected with the relevant locks, and uses the gid from
the neigh member in the CM/tx object which is valid according to the ref
count that was taken by the CM/tx.

The memory needed for the send and receive queues associated with
a QP is proportional to the max_sge parameter. The current value
of that parameter is such that with an mlx4 HCA the QP buffer size
is 8 MB. Since DMA is used for communication between HCA and CPU
that buffer either has to be allocated coherently or map_single()
must succeed for that buffer. Since large contiguous allocations
are fragile and since the maximum segment size for e.g. swiotlb
is 256 KB, reduce the max_sge parameter. This patch avoids that
the following text appears on the console after SRP logout and
relogin on a system equipped with multiple IB HCAs:

<title>IB/IPoIB: Don't update neigh validity for unresolved entries</title>

ipoib_neigh_get unconditionally updates the "alive" variable member on
any packet send.  This prevents the neighbor garbage collection from
cleaning out a dead neighbor entry if we are still queueing packets
for it.  If the queue for this neighbor is full, then don't update the
alive timestamp.  That way the neighbor can time out even if packets
are still being queued as long as none of them are being sent.

<title>IB/IPoIB: Disable bottom half when dealing with device address</title>

<content type='text'>
Align locking usage when touching device address with rest
of the kernel. Lock the bottom half when doing so using
netif_addr_lock_bh.

This also solves the following case as reported by lockdep:
	CPU0                    CPU1
	----                    ----
lock(_xmit_INFINIBAND);
				local_irq_disable();
				lock(&amp;(&amp;mc-&gt;mca_lock)-&gt;rlock);
				lock(_xmit_INFINIBAND);
&lt;Interrupt&gt;
lock(&amp;(&amp;mc-&gt;mca_lock)-&gt;rlock);

<title>IB/IPoIB: Fix race between ipoib_remove_one to sysfs functions</title>

<id>198b12f77084244d310888dd5d643083cb5c2aa1</id>
<content type='text'>
In ipoib_remove_one the driver holds the rtnl_lock and tries to do some
operation like dev_change_flags or unregister_netdev, while sysfs
callback like ipoib_vlan_delete holds sysfs mutex and tries to hold the
rtnl_lock via rtnl_trylock() and restart_syscall() if the lock is not
free, meanwhile ipoib_remove_one tries to get the sysfs lock in order to
free its sysfs directory, and we will get  a-&gt;b, b-&gt;a deadlock.

    Trace like the following:

Because patch "IB/srp: Move common code into the caller" was applied
partially srp_map_sg_dma() doesn't work properly. Fix this by

<title>IB/srp: Always initialize use_fast_reg and use_fmr</title>

Avoid that mapping fails due to use_fast_reg != 0 or use_fmr != 0
if both member variables should be zero (if never_register == 1 or
if neither FMR nor FR is supported). Remove an initialization that
became superfluous due to changing a kmalloc() into a kzalloc()
call.
