Michael J. Ruhl 54674984d4 IB/hfi1: Close race condition on user context disable and close 
commit bc5add0976 upstream.

When disabling and removing a receive context, it is possible for an
asynchronous event (i.e IRQ) to occur.  Because of this, there is a race
between cleaning up the context, and the context being used by the
asynchronous event.

cpu 0  (context cleanup)
    rc->ref_count-- (ref_count == 0)
    hfi1_rcd_free()
cpu 1  (IRQ (with rcd index))
	rcd_get_by_index()
	lock
	ref_count+++     <-- reference count race (WARNING)
	return rcd
	unlock
cpu 0
    hfi1_free_ctxtdata() <-- incorrect free location
    lock
    remove rcd from array
    unlock
    free rcd

This race will cause the following WARNING trace:

The race can also lead to a use after free which could be similar to:

Use the appropriate kref API to verify access.

Reorder context cleanup to ensure context removal before cleanup occurs
correctly.

README 

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.
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.
