Sumit Saxena 8e781506a7 scsi: megaraid_sas: Fix concurrent access to ISR between IRQ polling and real interrupt 
[ Upstream commit e7dcc514a4 ]

IRQ polling thread calls ISR after enable_irq() to handle any missed I/O
completion. The atomic flag "in_used" was added to have the synchronization
between the IRQ polling thread and the interrupt context. There is a bug
around it leading to a race condition.

Below is the sequence:

 - IRQ polling thread accesses ISR, fetches the reply descriptor.

 - Real interrupt arrives and pre-empts polling thread (enable_irq() is
   already called).

 - Interrupt context picks the same reply descriptor as fetched by polling
   thread, processes it, and exits.

 - Polling thread resumes and processes the descriptor which is already
   processed by interrupt thread leads to kernel crash.

Setting the "in_used" flag before fetching the reply descriptor ensures
synchronized access to ISR.

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.

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.
