Subject: CVE-2021-47449: ice: fix locking for Tx timestamp tracking flush

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ice: fix locking for Tx timestamp tracking flush

Commit 4dd0d5c33c3e ("ice: add lock around Tx timestamp tracker flush")
added a lock around the Tx timestamp tracker flow which is used to
cleanup any left over SKBs and prepare for device removal.

This lock is problematic because it is being held around a call to
ice_clear_phy_tstamp. The clear function takes a mutex to send a PHY
write command to firmware. This could lead to a deadlock if the mutex
actually sleeps, and causes the following warning on a kernel with
preemption debugging enabled:

Notice that this is the only case where we use the lock in this way. In
the cleanup kthread and work kthread the lock is only taken around the
bit accesses. This was done intentionally to avoid this kind of issue.
The way the lock is used, we only protect ordering of bit sets vs bit
clears. The Tx writers in the hot path don't need to be protected
against the entire kthread loop. The Tx queues threads only need to
ensure that they do not re-use an index that is currently in use. The
cleanup loop does not need to block all new set bits, since it will
re-queue itself if new timestamps are present.

Fix the tracker flow so that it uses the same flow as the standard
cleanup thread. In addition, ensure the in_use bitmap actually gets
cleared properly.

This fixes the warning and also avoids the potential deadlock that might
have occurred otherwise.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2021-47449 to this issue.


Affected and fixed versions
===========================

	Issue introduced in 5.14.4 with commit 46720ac66c21 and fixed in 5.14.14 with commit 61616be89997

Please see https://www.kernel.org for a full list of currently supported
kernel versions by the kernel community.

Unaffected versions might change over time as fixes are backported to
older supported kernel versions.  The official CVE entry at

Affected files
==============

The file(s) affected by this issue are:
	drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_ptp.c


Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/61616be899975404df44c20ab902464b60882cd7
