Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 036/101] IB/ipoib: Fix deadlock between
 ipoib_stop and mcast join flow

From: Feras Daoud <ferasda@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 3e31a490e01a6e67cbe9f6e1df2f3ff0fbf48972 ]

Before calling ipoib_stop, rtnl_lock should be taken, then
the flow clears the IPOIB_FLAG_ADMIN_UP and IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP
flags, and waits for mcast completion if IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY
is set.

On the other hand, the flow of multicast join task initializes
a mcast completion, sets the IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY and calls
ipoib_mcast_join. If IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flag is not set, this
call returns EINVAL without setting the mcast completion and
leads to a deadlock.

ipoib_stop will wait for mcast completion for ever, and will
not release the rtnl_lock. As a result panic occurs with the
following trace:
