commit f9e76ca3 upstream. A pio send egress error can occur when the PSM library attempts to to send a bad packet. That issue is still being investigated. The pio error interrupt handler then attempts to progress the recovery of the errored pio send context. Code inspection reveals that the handling lacks the necessary locking if that recovery interleaves with a PSM close of the "context" object contains the pio send context. The lack of the locking can cause the recovery to access the already freed pio send context object and incorrectly deduce that the pio send context is actually a kernel pio send context as shown by the NULL deref stack below: [<ffffffff8143d78c>] _dev_info+0x6c/0x90 [<ffffffffc0613230>] sc_restart+0x70/0x1f0 [hfi1] [<ffffffff816ab124>] ? __schedule+0x424/0x9b0 [<ffffffffc06133c5>] sc_halted+0x15/0x20 [hfi1] [<ffffffff810aa3ba>] process_one_work+0x17a/0x440 [<ffffffff810ab086>] worker_thread+0x126/0x3c0 [<ffffffff810aaf60>] ? manage_workers.isra.24+0x2a0/0x2a0 [<ffffffff810b252f>] kthread+0xcf/0xe0 [<ffffffff810b2460>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffff816b8798>] ret_from_fork+0x58/0x90 [<ffffffff810b2460>] ? insert_kthread_work+0x40/0x40 This is the best case scenario and other scenarios can corrupt the already freed memory. Fix by adding the necessary locking in the pio send context error handler.
