[ Upstream commit 0c74d9f79ec4299365bbe803baa736ae0068179e ]
Due to the hashed-MAC optimisation one problem become visible:
hsr_handle_sup_frame() walks over the list of available nodes and merges
two node entries into one if based on the information in the supervision
both MAC addresses belong to one node. The list-walk happens on a RCU
protected list and delete operation happens under a lock.
If the supervision arrives on both slave interfaces at the same time
then this delete operation can occur simultaneously on two CPUs. The
result is the first-CPU deletes the from the list and the second CPUs
BUGs while attempting to dereference a poisoned list-entry. This happens
more likely with the optimisation because a new node for the mac_B entry
is created once a packet has been received and removed (merged) once the
supervision frame has been received.
Avoid removing/ cleaning up a hsr_node twice by adding a `removed' field
which is set to true after the removal and checked before the removal.

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.
