In several places, this snippet is used when removing neigh entries: list_del(&neigh->list); ipoib_neigh_free(neigh); The list_del() removes neigh from the associated struct ipoib_path, while ipoib_neigh_free() removes neigh from the device's neigh entry lookup table. Both of these operations are protected by the priv->lock spinlock. The table however is also protected via RCU, and so naturally the lock is not held when doing reads. This leads to a race condition, in which a thread may successfully look up a neigh entry that has already been deleted from neigh->list. Since the previous deletion will have marked the entry with poison, a second list_del() on the object will cause a panic: #5 [ffff8802338c3c70] general_protection at ffffffff815108c5 [exception RIP: list_del+16] RIP: ffffffff81289020 RSP: ffff8802338c3d20 RFLAGS: 00010082 RAX: dead000000200200 RBX: ffff880433e60c88 RCX: 0000000000009e6c RDX: 0000000000000246 RSI: ffff8806012ca298 RDI: ffff880433e60c88 RBP: ffff8802338c3d30 R8: ffff8806012ca2e8 R9: 00000000ffffffff R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff8804346b2020 R13: ffff88032a3e7540 R14: ffff8804346b26e0 R15: 0000000000000246 ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0000 #6 [ffff8802338c3d38] ipoib_cm_tx_handler at ffffffffa066fe0a [ib_ipoib] #7 [ffff8802338c3d98] cm_process_work at ffffffffa05149a7 [ib_cm] #8 [ffff8802338c3de8] cm_work_handler at ffffffffa05161aa [ib_cm] #9 [ffff8802338c3e38] worker_thread at ffffffff81090e10 #10 [ffff8802338c3ee8] kthread at ffffffff81096c66 #11 [ffff8802338c3f48] kernel_thread at ffffffff8100c0ca We move the list_del() into ipoib_neigh_free(), so that deletion happens only once, after the entry has been successfully removed from the lookup table. This same behavior is already used in ipoib_del_neighs_by_gid() and __ipoib_reap_neigh().
