Subject: [PATCH rdma-next] IB/IPoIB: Avoid restoring OPER_UP after multicast flush
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 17:06:32 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902-avoid-rest-oper-up-v1-1-04fcd4916cae@nvidia.com> (raw)
From: Carolina Jubran <cjubran@nvidia.com>
ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light() temporarily clears IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP to
prevent multicast joins while ipoib_mcast_dev_flush() is running, and
restores the flag afterwards if it was previously set.
This restore races with ipoib_ib_dev_down(). If the interface is brought
down while the flush is in progress, ipoib_ib_dev_down() clears
IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP, but the flush path may set it again after the device
has already gone down.
Since commit 894021a75291 ("IB/ipoib: Make the carrier_on_task race
aware"), ipoib_mcast_carrier_on_task() relies on IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP
being cleared to terminate its rtnl_trylock() retry loop. If the flag is
left set after shutdown, the workqueue retries forever, causing teardown
to deadlock when ipoib_ndo_uninit() waits in destroy_workqueue() while
holding RTNL.
Instead of overloading IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP to block multicast joins
during a light flush, introduce a dedicated IPOIB_FLAG_MCAST_FLUSH flag.
Use it together with IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP to determine whether multicast
joins are allowed, avoiding the race with device shutdown.
Fixes: 344bacca8cd8 ("IB/ipoib: Don't allow MC joins during light MC flush")
