CVE-2023-52587

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

IB/ipoib: Fix mcast list locking

Releasing the `priv->lock` while iterating the `priv->multicast_list` in
`ipoib_mcast_join_task()` opens a window for `ipoib_mcast_dev_flush()` to
remove the items while in the middle of iteration. If the mcast is removed
while the lock was dropped, the for loop spins forever resulting in a hard
lockup (as was reported on RHEL 4.18.0-372.75.1.el8_6 kernel):

Task A (kworker/u72:2 below) | Task B (kworker/u72:0 below)
-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------
ipoib_mcast_join_task(work) | ipoib_ib_dev_flush_light(work)
spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock) | __ipoib_ib_dev_flush(priv, ...)
list_for_each_entry(mcast, | ipoib_mcast_dev_flush(dev = priv->dev)
&priv->multicast_list, list) |
ipoib_mcast_join(dev, mcast) |
spin_unlock_irq(&priv->lock) |
| spin_lock_irqsave(&priv->lock, flags)
| list_for_each_entry_safe(mcast, tmcast,
| &priv->multicast_list, list)
| list_del(&mcast->list);
| list_add_tail(&mcast->list, &remove_list)
| spin_unlock_irqrestore(&priv->lock, flags)
spin_lock_irq(&priv->lock) |
| ipoib_mcast_remove_list(&remove_list)
(Here, `mcast` is no longer on the | list_for_each_entry_safe(mcast, tmcast,
`priv->multicast_list` and we keep | remove_list, list)
spinning on the `remove_list` of | >>> wait_for_completion(&mcast->done)
the other thread which is blocked |
and the list is still valid on |
it's stack.)

Fix this by keeping the lock held and changing to GFP_ATOMIC to prevent
eventual sleeps.
Unfortunately we could not reproduce the lockup and confirm this fix but
based on the code review I think this fix should address such lockups.
