Revision 7ff57e98fb78ad94edafbdc7435f2d745e9e6bb5 authored by Fabio M. De Francesco on 23 February 2022, 10:02:52 UTC, committed by Jakub Kicinski on 24 February 2022, 17:09:33 UTC
smc_pnetid_by_table_ib() uses read_lock() and then it calls smc_pnet_apply_ib()
which, in turn, calls mutex_lock(&smc_ib_devices.mutex).

read_lock() disables preemption. Therefore, the code acquires a mutex while in
atomic context and it leads to a SAC bug.

Fix this bug by replacing the rwlock with a mutex.
