commit a3c7cd0cdf1107f891aff847ad481e34df727055 upstream. Syzbot has reported some issues with the locking assumptions made for the multicast tt/tvlv worker: It was able to trigger the WARN_ON() in batadv_mcast_mla_tt_retract() and batadv_mcast_mla_tt_add(). While hard/not reproduceable for us so far it seems that the delayed_work_pending() we use might not be quite safe from reordering. Therefore this patch adds an explicit, new spinlock to protect the update of the mla_list and flags in bat_priv and then removes the WARN_ON(delayed_work_pending()).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
