sunvnet: Use RCU to synchronize port usage with vnet_port_remove()
A vnet_port_remove could be triggered as a result of an ldm-unbind operation by the peer, module unload, or other changes to the inter-vnet-link configuration. When this is concurrent with vnet_start_xmit(), there are several race sequences possible, such as thread 1 thread 2 vnet_start_xmit -> tx_port_find spin_lock_irqsave(&vp->lock..) ret = __tx_port_find(..) spin_lock_irqrestore(&vp->lock..) vio_remove -> .. ->vnet_port_remove spin_lock_irqsave(&vp->lock..) cleanup spin_lock_irqrestore(&vp->lock..) kfree(port) /* attempt to use ret will bomb */ This patch adds RCU locking for port access so that vnet_port_remove will correctly clean up port-related state.
