Subject[PATCH] IPoIB: Fix crash when path record fails after path flush
Date
From: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB: Refresh paths instead of flushing them on SM
change events") changed how paths are flushed on an SM event. This
change introduces a problem if the path record query triggered by
fails, causing path->ah to become NULL. A later successful path query
will then trigger WARN_ON() in path_rec_completion(), and crash
because path->ah has already been freed, so the ipoib_put_ah() inside
the lock in path_rec_completion() may actually drop the last reference
(contrary to the comment that claims this is safe).

Fix this by updating path->ah and freeing old_ah only when the path
record query is successful. This prevents the neighbour AH and that
path AH from getting out of sync.

This fixes <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1194>

Hi Linus,

One more patch for 2.6.27. This fixes a regression from 2.6.26 that
causes a panic with IP-over-InfiniBand on some network events.

Please apply.

Thanks,
Roland
