We have a parallel unlocked reader and writer with ib_uverbs_get_context() vs everything else, and nothing guarantees this works properly. Audit and fix all of the places that access ucontext to use one of the following locking schemes: - Call ib_uverbs_get_ucontext() under SRCU and check for failure - Access the ucontext through an struct ib_uobject context member while holding a READ or WRITE lock on the uobject. This value cannot be NULL and has no race. - Hold the ucontext_lock and check for ufile->ucontext !NULL This also re-implements ib_uverbs_get_ucontext() in a way that is safe against concurrent ib_uverbs_get_context() and disassociation. As a side effect, every access to ucontext in the commands is via ib_uverbs_get_context() with an error check, or via the uobject, so there is no longer any need for the core code to check ucontext on every command call. These checks are also removed. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> |

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.
