[ Upstream commit 7a8bccd8b29c321ac181369b42b04fecf05f98e2 ] The mad_client will be initialized in enable_device_and_get(), while the devices_rwsem will be downgraded to a read semaphore. There is a window that leads to the failed initialization for cm_client, since it can not get matched mad port from ib_mad_port_list, and the matched mad port will be added to the list after that. mad_client | cm_client ------------------|-------------------------------------------------------- ib_register_device| enable_device_and_get down_write(&devices_rwsem) xa_set_mark(&devices, DEVICE_REGISTERED) downgrade_write(&devices_rwsem) | |ib_cm_init |ib_register_client(&cm_client) |down_read(&devices_rwsem) |xa_for_each_marked (&devices, DEVICE_REGISTERED) |add_client_context |cm_add_one |ib_register_mad_agent |ib_get_mad_port |__ib_get_mad_port |list_for_each_entry(entry, &ib_mad_port_list, port_list) |return NULL |up_read(&devices_rwsem) | add_client_context| ib_mad_init_device| ib_mad_port_open | list_add_tail(&port_priv->port_list, &ib_mad_port_list) up_read(&devices_rwsem) | Fix it by using down_write(&devices_rwsem) in ib_register_client().

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
